THOMAS! below is a bulletin from my friend johnny -- he works at a bar in uptown called The Spot -- we watched the air guitar nation docu last month, so now he's inspired to put together a showcase at his bar -- do you know any air guitarists? would you like to be one yourself? let me know and i'll pass along info to him.
xoxo - court
his message as follows:


hey yall, I'm gonna start booking for an air guitar competition at the Spot, to coincide with the regional Air Guitar Championship at Metro in June. So if you haven't seen the doc Air Guitar Nation, go to youtube and check these guys out! AMAZING!
So if you got what it takes or know someone who does, hit me up.

Peace, JM

Very nice of you to say! I miss you, too, man. I'll think of a reason at some point. Right now, just too swamped to get away.

Again, many hearty thanks for your activist spirit and articulate well-directed words.

Just got wind of a strong suspicion (and PU it stinks!)about who wrote the letter back to you...it's all an evil conspiracy...

Let's just say the "Man" never fails to keep his people in check.

Tribute to Grant Go-Between





Aug 15 2007 6:52 AM

Thank you for being our friend! We hope that you agree with our belief that the artists participating in our tribute to Grant McLennan have done justice to artistry gifted to us by this great man, both with his solo work and his work with The Go-Betweens.

Love Goes On!
