To Air Is Human

Katie wants her girls to grow up to be "pro something" so they can make bazillions of dollars while doing something totally fun and totally awesome, while making a difference and changing peoples lives for the better. well, I found something that fits that criteria perfectly:

Air Guitar World Championships

http://www.airguitarworldchampionships.com/EN/programme/high-altitude-training-camp.html

A few choice quotes from the website.

  • As usual, the contestants welcomed everyone to join in as they played their guitars along with the song Rocking in the Free World. Air guitarists believe that all the bad things disappear from the world when everyone plays the air guitar, you know.

  • What Air Guitar is all about, is to surrender to the music without having an actual instrument.

There is even a camp where you get one-on-one training from former champions and you can attend such seminars as: Principles and Philosophy of Air Guitar, Maintaining Your Instrument, and Advanced Choreography. There is also a written exam.

Last years' winner, "The Destroyer," did a stunning performance combining air guitar with...wait for it.... The Robot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj05ibkdd_0

Last week I got a Joan Jett rocker-chick haircut--so I think this is the logical next step to stardom and eventually world domination (buwahh ha ha haaa). Start saving your money now for a trip to Finland in September, I'm going to need a massive fan club if I'm going to go all the way.

If it is the second one I hope you have a headband too. It would not look rocker enough with out it.
ps no. none of our kids have the red hair yet.

WOW - how do you even THINK to find some of this stuff. I am constantly amazed. Good luck by the way - I think you will make a sweet air guitarist.
