Back from Vacation

Okay, it's been almost a month since my last post. I am lame, but I've been on vacation.

What's happening in the world of air?

Aireoke:Williamsburg continues -- next one is Roctober 26 @ Trash Bar. May be an LA Aireoke in the near future too...

Apparently two dudes at Harvard (which I am told is a school in Boston) are doing an Air Guitar Musical. If you are in Boston, check it out. (Oct 13-15). Here's more info.

This is what they told me:

The musical is called "Finding Their Guitar" and tells the story of a
boy destined to be a rock star. Unfortunately, he is born with a rare
degenerative disease that causes weakness in his arms, so he cannot
hold a guitar. When he thinks all is lost, a guru appears and teaches
him about the art of air guitar. The guitarist agrees to follow the
path to airness and the musical ends with his championship competition
performance. This musical is a heartwarming story of overcoming
adversity and is a lesson about life as much as it is about air guitar.

The show runs from October 13-15
at the Loeb Experimental Theater at Harvard. If you or any of your
airudite friends are interested in coming to see the show, tickets are
free and open to the public.

Dang.

And some sample lyrics (credited to authors Ben Green/Charlie Miller)

YOU'VE GOT THE NOTES INSIDES YOU,
YOU WANT TO HEAR THEM RING.
WELL, I KNOW A LOT OF ROCK STARS
WHO'VE NEVER TOUCHED A STRING.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO KNOW THEIR SEVENTH CHORDS,
THEY DON'T NEED TO LEARN THEIR PART.
‘CAUSE THEIR GUITAR IS AN AIR GUITAR,
AND THEIR MUSIC IS THEIR HEART…

Truer words were never said, much less sung...
