GO MANDI GO!! Severin Browne dropped in after performing a local concert and did a set just for Mandi!

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Current Guinness Book of World Recrods pinball endurance champion Mandi Martin, longtime member of the board of governors of the Los Angeles Chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, will attempt to break her still-standing 505-hour record set in 1979 with a 555-hour pinball marathon extravaganza scheduled for March 5-28, 2000.

Dubbed “Mandi Martin’s MillenniuM Pinball Marathon” and timed to coincide with the record holder’s 55th birthday, the 23-day event will benefit the Recording Academy’s renowned MusiCares Foundation, established in 1969 to focus industry attention and resources on the health, human services and welfare issues of all music people. Other charities benefiting from Mandi’s Marathon will be Gilda’s Club, America’s Breast Cancer Ride, and Haven Hills.

With numerous appearances by celebrity and industry well-wishers expected (as has occurred during the producer/songwriters’s two previous forays into the Guinness books, including Martin’s 1978 original run of 140 hrs. 32 min.), the benefit marathon will be carried live over the Internet.

“MusiCares reached out to me four years ago when my husband Jerry Fox suddenly passed away,” explained Martin. “This is just my way of expressing my appreciation.”

Mandi believes she would be the perfect spokesperson for Depend Undergarments. Her slogan is “When there just isn’t time for one more break…” The photo says it all! (Mandi, They say that a picture is worth a thousand words… but in this case… it all depends…)

Mandi was tired but in good spirits as she passed the 100 hour mark!!

The weather might have been gray and dreary outside, but in Woodland Hills there were plenty of bright smiles and cheers as we kicked off Mandi Martin’s Millinnium Pinball Marathon. At 9:40 am on Sunday, March 5, Mandi gave the ‘ol pinball machine its first flick of many following the opening interview for the documentary and a whole lot of preparation. Despite a late night of set building, camera crews, and a leaking roof, Mandi walked up to the machine with a huge smile and a high spirit that hasn’t to wavered. She enjoyed outstanding performances by the bands Soul Dogs and GC Groove Clique. One might say the premises were ROCK’IN! We anticipate the fun will continue on with more performances and many visitors. Keep checking this websites for updates on the excitement or contact us so you can experience it first hand. This really is… much ado about something!
