Hey Gang -

Just wanted to let everyone know tonight is Round 1 of the 2007 Air Guitar Championships. Finals will be during SXSW in March so we are starting early. Tonight we have the Travel Channel covering the event and I will be giving away free tickets around 7:30pm on 101X w/ Trina. Get your asses out to compete - it's free !

Tonights Judges - Scott Chester, Jason Vines and Chris Trew

MC - Jen Cargill

SHOW STARTS AT 9:45pm !

This was super badass last year and I'm really looking forward to judging and competing this year. I know we've got some closet Air Guitar aficionados in the AIC. Come out and compete!

I'm definitely doing this.... I might have to wait until next month, though. costume is important.

Yes, costume is very important. As is stage presence, technicality and "airness".

Wahoo!

Chris, Scott and Jason were OUTSTANDING last night and we will all be on the Travel Channel Dec. 9 at 9pm ! Great job guys !

That was an awesome show, I can't wait to see what the TV spot looks like. You folks should seriously come out and compete. (you know who you are) The competition is going to get fierce in the coming months and it would be fucking awesome to send someone from the AIC to New York for the championships.

All the AICers judging did us wicked proud; the big air guitar guns weren't there that night and there were many lackluster walk-ons that might have made for an awkward night if not for the spot-on comedy stylings of Vines, Trew, and Scott Chester (and Jen commanding mad attention as m.c.)....

I hear the faux-rock messiah "Grackle" will be performing at the Dec. 19th show... be careful about trying to compete against him, he will shred you to shreds!

i hear Grackle is a huge puss and will be slain at any greater slayer's earliest convenience. is that true, Arthur?

wow.


Grackle is life, passion, intensity. Don't fuck with Grackle, he will rule you. You're lucky to even know someone remotely associated with Grackle. Grackle cares nothing for your pathetic AIC, he's a force of goddamn nature and deserves our goddamn respect, goddamner.

I overheard that Twisted Sister will be competing on Jan. 2nd.

Behold the power of STARWOLF NIGHTRANGER on January 2nd! He will destroy you all.

Starfold Nightrager is so dumb he doesn't even play a real guitar!!

tonight's air guitar round should be pretty cool... there's this guy I know who's going to soar above the competition!

If Hoover's rehearsal doesn't run too late, I'm gonna try and make it out to this show. I want to see just how big of a slingshot I'll need to knock that Grackle out of the sky.
