Remember how last year there was some grassroots support, including my own, for having US Air Guitar Nationals in Kansas City, and then it actually happened? Well, now it's time for me to turn that same high-powered spotlight (ha!) on the town I actually live in, Boston!

Recap: 2014 Boston US Air Guitar Qualifier
I'm not sure I'm fully recovered. Boston's US Air Guitar Qualifier took place on Saturday, and the evening was a great success. Sure, there were only 9 competitors (including walk-ons), and that was a bit of a concern, but it all went off successfully. Let's talk about it!

Boston Hockey Fans: Drown Your Sorrows in Air Guitar
Well, the Bruins just got eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I know it's sad. I am a big hockey fan and while I do live in Boston, my hometown team will always have my heart - and they have a long and proud history of tanking it in the playoffs. So even if the Bruins weren't my #2 team and I wasn't bummed about the loss on its own merits, I would still fully understand the feeling around town today. You're sad about the loss, and more, you're at a loss now that your favorite sport has been pulled out from under you. Sure, you might keep following the rest of the playoffs, but it's just not as good. Right?

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.
