The Getting-Ready Soundtrack: Air Guitar Nation

If you really like rock and roll, and you really like other people who really like rock and roll, then the best thing you could possibly do tonight is go see Air Guitar Nation, Alexandra Lipsitz's documentary about the World Air Guitar Championships. I caught it at AFI Fest last year and literally wept with joy at its awesomeness (seriously - burning tears of love streamed down my face when C-Diddy totally blew away a very hostile Roxy L.A. crowd early on in the film). It's premiering tonight in L.A. and already out in New York (check AirGuitarNation.com to find out when it's playing in your city), and I'm kinda getting goosebumps at the thought of seeing it again.

Oh, and if you go to the 7:30 show tonight at the NuArt in L.A., you'll get a post-screening Q & A with Alexandra and one of the film's stars, Dan Crane (aka Bjorn Turoque, the shirtless dude right below). You might end up developing this big weird crush on Bjorn, which will lead to lots of fun inner debates about performance and identity, or maybe even some hot metal makeout action.
