I got an email back from Guinness today!!!1(one)[shift]
Turns out, they've accepted my "application" for an attempt. Apparently, they've sent me a PDF file for all the fine print, and if I can meet their demands, it's a go. I just need to find that venue...but how fate works...
My church group, Deep 6 Youth, uses the Family Fun and Fitness center in Indianapolis/Greenfield as our temporary meeting place. The owner, Jeff Frey, lends us the building for a day, so we can worship. If I were to talk to him, I'm sure he'd let me use the building for a weekend, maybe even when the premise is under business...why?
...they have a Pump machine on constant freeplay...privately owned by them...

The only requirement is, I have to be a member of the club, or a guest of a visitor. ($60 for 3 months...) He's a nice guy, and seeing how he's lent favors in the past, (and how his full name is my first name, almost), I could easily see him allowing us to use his facility.
The only problem? I'm not great at Pump, but I'm sure he'd also be cool enough to allow me free sessions or something to practice, as he's a big supporter of health improvement, and he'd probably like to see someone try something like this. I'm going to call him, and see what he can work out. Not only would he provide a venue, machine, and/or publicity (spectators using the gym), he's practically got a vault of energy drinks and protein bars.
I'll check in later, but the support sounds like a wave of awesomeness. I'd love for people to even talk to me during the Light songs...just so I keep my sanity...
