Strange coincidence or indicator of my prophetic powers? The other day while talking about Hey Lover's self-titled debut album, I mentioned how the catchy hooks made you want to play air guitar...and here we are a couple days later and I get this e-mail about the 2007 US Air Guitar Championships! I think this might be fate giving me a wake-up call. Perhaps I wasn't destined to become a teacher after all! Well, while I'm pondering my reason for being on the planet, consider whether you have the skills to pay the bills and feel like shreding your way to the championships. If you think you have what it takes, regional contests are coming to a major metropolitan area near you:June 6 • Washington DC • 9:30 Club (All ages)
