Boston Air Guitar Blog

Boston Air Guitar wishes you a very Airy Christmas (and a Happy New Beer)!

Looking forward to spreading good cheer and world peace through air guitar with the rest of the air guitar family - Boston and beyond - in 2014!

Tonight, my place of employment is having a charity auction. Everyone who has a skill, an item, or maybe a sports ticket is putting it up for auction, and the proceeds all go to charity. Well, I don't have sports tickets or a beach house to auction off, and I can't paint or code or teach you to fly a plane, so I had to throw down the only skill I have that anyone's aware of: that's right, I'm auctioning off an "air guitar lesson"! The lucky winner gets to come over to my house, drink a bunch of beers, and Captain Airhab and I will have a 3-part lesson with them:

If you only know two things that I love, air guitar and roller derby are both right up there (along with hockey, chocolate-chip cookies, beer, and weird-looking cats). And now, finally, the chance for those two to coexist has come to New England! CT RollerGirls, out of Stamford, Connecticut, have beaten my beloved Boston Derby Dames to the punch in having an air guitar half-time show. And thanks to a friend of The Marquis, we're invited to participate!

Ok, I know I haven't posted anything in ages even when I said I would - mea culpa - I've just been so busy with my job telling other people to blog more. But this is something you need to know about: legendary LA air guitarist 6-String General is going to be coming to Boston on Nov. 20th! And he's not just coming for a visit. He's going to be opening up for a captivating young lady named Ali Spagnola, whose entire raison d'etre is singing one-minute-long songs about beer! And/or drinking in general. And he is a General. So there you go: perfect synergy.

Ok, air guitar family: after my last post, I've created a fundraising page to raise money for the Colorado branch of the Red Cross so as to help flood victims. You can find the page and make a donation here.
