Video and Photos from Rockefeller Center Screenings

After one night of getting nearly rained out, I turned up to watch Air Guitar Nation screened on the side of Rockefeller Center. It was a pretty amazing site to see. I sat next to C-Diddy and drank in the sights and sounds of the movie with some other diehard fans.


There's a little movie of the movie below. It should provide a vague idea of how insanely cool it looked on the side of the building. It was fucking massive.



Next screening is at SILVERDOCS in Washington DC, June 16.

AIR GUITAR NATION screening tonight - free

REPEAT PERFORMANCE --
Last night's deluge could not hold back some die-hard fans. But tonight there will be another screening of Air Guitar Nation TONIGHT, THURSDAY JUNE 8 at Rockefeller Center.

Looks like it might rain AGAIN for tonight's screening, but here's the deal:

Info:
Air Guitar Nation
The Channel Gardens of Rockefeller Center
between 49th and 50th Streets, off Fifth Avenue
Screening at 11pm, following Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos which plays at 9.

“Alexandra Lipsitz's often hilarious documentary (with almost everyone in on the joke) won the audience award at SXSW and is spawning a cult following that could snowball in release.” -- Variety

“Easily the best movie we've seen at the festival this year.” -- Gothamist

“Air Guitar Nation is one of the most fun documentaries I suspect will ever be seen. It is overflowing with energy and had the whole crowd headbanging and playing air guitar in their seats. It’s a movie that rock and roll fans can’t afford to miss.” -- Ain’t it Cool News

Video Highlights from SF Regional Competition

The dudes from a website called The Owl Mag in SF made this totally bitchin video about the SF regional competition. Check it out.

Meanwhile, back in NYC, we prepare for the SOLD OUT US Air Guitar Championships at the Bowery Ballroom. It will no doubt be the greatest night of air shreddification to which this country has ever born witness. I'll see you there...

You dont have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
