There’s a lot of it, but I’ll post a few here due to popular demand. (I believe if you click my name it will take you to my myspace page which has more pics and links; if not, well, look me up). For those of you not in the know, I competed in the US Air Guitar Championships this year after seeing the most excellent documentary “Air Guitar Nation” (I highly recommend you check out the DVD). It was a totally incredible experience for both the performers and the audience, so I highly recommend you all go check it out this summer; I know I’ll be performing again.
Tim, the video clip on washingtonpost.com is flippin’ AWESOME!! Especially the big roundhouse kick with the windmill string assault that brings everything home at the end. A textbook display of Airness that undoubtedly has al-Qaeda’s crusaders quaking in fear. You are officially on notice, ye craven jihadists: the Six String General is preparing to melt your faces off. . . was that the routine that you did in DC?
The GENERAL! Wow. Please tell me you wear the leather pants (with aviators) out in Charlottesville, Tim. They are fantastic.

We live in a peaceful community of not editing blog content (unless it’s lawsuit-worthy) unlike some other places in town, but I just noticed Nancy Grace’s comment shortened, and I didn’t do it, I don’t think Thor did it, and no one else should have access to that. And her little “My Space” stalker thing, CREEPY. Nancy Grace, what’s your deal?
Tim, WOW. That takes balls my friend. Do they have an acoustic or unplugged category? I can air strum and look self-important like a muthafucka, but I aint no Jimi Hendrix. Perhaps you’re in need of accompaniment from time to time? Ditto for the air-tambourine.
Maybe you’ll grace us with a demo at the next get-together?
Tim,
I’m sorry for the delay– I’ve been anywhere between Texas and Georgia all week. You would have kicked bare-naked hiny in Austin, too. I saw, like, four different sets of genitals at the Alamo’s championship night, it was all so unnecessary. It should be about exhibiting raw talent, not raw pork and beans. Are you still competing? Can we come? Like a cVillain cheering section?
‘ve been in training since June, so I will definitely be competing next year and bringing the thunder (wanna help a brother out Thor?). A cvillain cheering section would be totally sweet. And there shall be plenty of opportunities since this year there are going to be 30 cities divided into two conferences; I’m thinking I will be going on tour and hitting up several cities. ROAD GIG!
I am there Tim! I’ll organize a posse complete with gun-toting body guards, a personal assistant, a press-agent, a wife, two girlfriends, hangers-on, factotums and groupies. And I’ll be your manager for a thirty percent cut of the gross of all income arising out of all activities related to your act, your persona, and your online postings
As for the rest of the posse, I would welcome it and might even incorporate them into the act (you can have roadies and whatnot on-stage, as long as they are off by the time the song starts). Current US champ William Ocean has the “Wave Riders,” and they are a huge part of what got him the win…what shall my groupies be called?
No General. I do not accept air money, air bullion, air diamonds, or air platinum cards. Maybe an air Lexus, some air mack-10’s, and some air blow. I try to keep it classy
Tim
We got work to do. When is your next gig?
First thing we gotta do is build your base. I suggest this site sponsor the first ever cVillain Air Guitar Challenge. We’ll use the event as an opportunity to hone your act, build the buzz, and audition talent for the Inflatable Infantry. Thor and Lillith can bankroll the whole thing with their own money. I’ll get my publicity, costume design, pyrotechnics, and animal-trainer teams together in the new year.
I think we should start small. How’s the Paramount sound. It’l be a nice warm-up to an early summer show at the pavilion, the July 4th Naturalization ceremony at Monticello (x-promoted with the US Army …), and the late summer stadium tour opening for the Brittney Spears/Amy Winehouse double-bill.
I’ll sponsor it… I’m rich as fuck.
Right if I’m bankrolling this then start small means we scale down from Paramount to Belmont-Yo’s front parlor. Next, my issues with Silmo’s brilliant but flawed offensive; I believe Brit Spears will as usual be cussing and having an episiotomy in a birthing pool late summer, and Amy will probably have OD’d by then so not a good bet at all. I hear that Veronica Hammel is available, and I have a call into Richard Simmons.
Next, the animal trainers sound EXPENSIVE so let’s go the usual performing gerbil route and just offer lots of free booze so people don’t question too much. I think we have a plan… and it’s cunning.
Richard Simmons would be perfect for the new act. And by “new,” Tim, I mean the act I just made up. We’re gonna pair you with another air-artist, back you up with a bunch of “adventurous” dancers, add in some props, and call the thing: Eight Girls, 4 Cups, Two Air Guitars… One Night You’ll Never Forget (no matter how hard you try).
No Richard Simmons for me. Gilad, on the other hand, is perfectly acceptable. As for the late summer tour, how about opening up for Hannah Montana? I think that crowd would love Eight Girls, 4 Cups, 2 Air Guitars and a Gerbil.
Tim, I’ve got an old Soviet uniform… I’m visualizing The Six String General with the Inflatable Infantry vs. Colonel Chord-ski and the Kalishnakovas. If it helps, Richard Gere is a friend of a friend…
My man on the left is rocking a vest!
I’m a fan!
I’m a fan of the young lady in the second picture on the right.
Hellllllo.
You all have most excellent taste.
As opposed to one of the other young ladies, Dave?
When is the next party?
Dunno, but I wanna play it. Loud.
Yeah, well I took some pics too. Here they are:

Dave, unless lilith plans on making a sockpuppet, don’t expect a reply to your entreaty.
Actually, it’s me. Tim can you please post your publicity info for air guitars?
There’s a lot of it, but I’ll post a few here due to popular demand. (I believe if you click my name it will take you to my myspace page which has more pics and links; if not, well, look me up).

It was a totally incredible experience for both the performers and the audience, so I highly recommend you all go check it out this summer; I know I’ll be performing again.
Here is the official site for US Air Guitar, which will give some good background on the history and methods of the Air Guitar Championships (I highly recommend the William Ocean clip from 2006).
See a video of the DC competition (my peformance is the last minute of the video).
Here is a story the Washington Post did on me.
Here I am on the BBC news.
And here is an excellent story with great pics from BrightestYoungThings.

shit! the pictures didn’t show up!
i was drunky.
That was a drunken first run of my DC performance. Check out the youtube link for clips of the actual show.
The GENERAL! Wow. Please tell me you wear the leather pants (with aviators) out in Charlottesville, Tim. They are fantastic.

Can I carry your spare guitars?
Silmo, is it cool if I pay you in air money?

“Cannon fodder”. We are making the Ultimate Sacrifice for our General!
Trench Warfare
The Draft Dodgers
The Six String Sluts
The General Villains
The Blow-up Dolls
never ask a question like that
The Inflatable Infantry
No General. I do not accept air money, air bullion, air diamonds, or air platinum cards. Maybe an air Lexus, some air mack-10’s, and some air blow. I try to keep it classy
26: Sold!

And YES I have been drinking……..
That’s a great picture of oy and me. Thanks nay nay.
Ethan… she could have done some red-eye reduction.

Silmo… PU-LEEEEZ
Eight Girls, 4 Cups, Two Air Guitars AND A GERBIL CALLED HERBERT.
If I am paying for this, then it has to be right.
Maybe Richard Gere can make a special guest appearance
at least she posted one where I was on top …
(lame, I know - in bed, sick with flu, nighty night cville)
No Richard Simmons for me. Gilad, on the other hand, is perfectly acceptable. As for the late summer tour, how about opening up for Hannah Montana? I think that crowd would love Eight Girls, 4 Cups, 2 Air Guitars and a Gerbil.

We could bill the event as World War III: Air Warfare.
But will it bomb?
nookyaler, baby
Oh and Floozy, put your money where your filthy mouth is, biotch
