AIR GUITAR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!

I just had a killer weekend! On Friday night, DC hosted the National Air Guitar Championships @ the 9:30 club. I've been to a lot of shows @ 9:30, but this was the first time I've had to wait in a line around the block with a ticket. Man was it packed!! Here's a shot of the DC legend "The Shred":

He's 45 and still rocking his air guitar socks off. Last year he leaped off a 15 foot speaker and broke his ankle. He did a similar leap this year, but landed safely to finish off the rest of the Queens of the Stone Age riff during round 2. 

Here's a look at all the patriotic air guitar lovers getting rained on by balloons: 


The show was so sick, that I was inspired to create a Rockasaurus tee in commemoration of all the animals that rock. 

Unfortunately, the two DC heros: The Shred & STD (Saygar the Destroyer) were eliminated in the 2nd round, as William Ocean won the title for best air guitarist in DC. 

Good luck to Will in Finland as he goes up against the international champions!!
