Walter Kitundu's LP
This solo exhibition includes the drawings, sculptures, and instruments Walter Kitundu created in his ongoing exploration of the mighty turntable. Captivated by the turntable's potential as a medium for the expression of sound, Kitundu has hand built tables powered by nature's elements of wind and rain, fire and earthquakes, birds, light, and the force behind sea waves and tides. He believes that records are an instrumental tool in interpreting our own environment, and he has worked with and built instruments for well-known recording artists such as Meshell N'degeocello. Stay tuned for a chance to see the man perform on his own instruments, or catch him at the Exploratorium where he resides. Date: Fri. 5/12, Time: 7-9pm, Place: The Luggage Store (1007 Market @ Sixth St), Cover: no cover, More Info (DKD)

US Air Guitar Championships
Stop laughing! This is a serious contest. After our crushing defeat to Holland in last year's Air Guitar World Championships, the American team is looking for a new star to join the ranks of previous champs, Sonyk-Rok, Rockness Monster, and Bjorn Turoque, and represent our most excellent nation in the 2006 World Championships. Contestants have to adhere to strict rules, such as "The instrument must be invisible and must be a guitar," "Air roadies are allowed, but they must leave the stage before the performance begins," and "No back-up bands (air or real)". And now that Finland has perfected the virtual air guitar, you can bet the competition will be fierce. For more information, see this clip - and ROCK ON! Date: Thu 5/11, Time: 9pm, Place: The Independent, Cover: $10 presale, $12 door, More Info. (JH)
