Björn Türoque's Next Mission: Beat the Air Guitar World Record.
Last weekend in the UK, Sheffield metalers SAXON led a halftime attempt to break the world record for most simultaneous air guitarists, held previously by 5,000 attendees of Guilfest, who rocked out together to 'Sweet Child of Mine' in 2006.
Apparently, the effort was a dismal failure, but was given the award anyway:
If things couldn't get any worse for the bumped Wednesday crowd inside Hillsborough - they did. The half-time entertainment revolved around Sheffield band 'Saxon' attempting to break a world record for the most people playing air guitar.
Such was the disappointment inside the ground - apart from the 6,000 or so Mackems in the Leppings Lane end - hardly anyone joined in, yet the band were still awarded the world record by officials!
So, Americans, it is up to us. We cannot continue to let our global air supremacy go unchecked like this. Mark my word, in 2007, Björn will lead a group of at least 7,000 in a massive air orgy, the likes of which Mr. Guinness has never seen...
Air-Do-Well is with me. Anyone else?

Location and other practical considerations aside, I'm in!
Sincerely,
The third-best air guitarist in Norfolk, Va.
Let me know if you make this happen, Bjorn - I hope it's less dismal than the Saxon attempt!
