USAG 2008 Under Way



Greetings fans and friends of Bjorn. The US Air Guitar '08 Summer Tour is on.

Last night in NYC, Air to the Throne defeated former US champ Hot Lixx Houlihann in a bitterly disputed upset, besting Mr. Lixx by a mere .02 points. Lixx wowed the crowd with his acrobatic leap from the stage and curtain-hanging descent—part Tarzan, part Jackie Chan. Alas, it was not enough to put him over the top.

Tonight, Washington DC at the 9:30 club. Capacity: 1200 people.

The tour bus is revving, the road goblins are at bay (for the moment) and the air is clear. Let the games continue...
