By Caroline Perkins Invented in a Tokyo karaoke bar by a group of single men in 2006, the phenomenon of "air sex" is taking Britain by storm. This year marks the fifth annual competition where participants lick, kiss, and fuck their imaginary partners in front of a live crowd to the soundtrack of their choosing.

Previously an air guitar afficionado, after watching a YouTube video of "air sex", comedian Chris Trew was sold. He started adding it to the air guitar competitions he was holding and in 2009 the World Air Sex Championship was born. Of his show, he says "Sex is a [...]...

The Saturday and Sunday line-ups for San Diego Comic Con 2010 programming have been released. Some big studios will present their upcoming big projects on July 24, while the organizers arrange the last day to be "Kids' Day".
Possibly getting the most attention on Saturday, July 24 will be Warner Bros. which is going to bring "Harry Potter" film franchise for the first time by presenting a sneak peek to the last installment, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", but the studio has confirmed that the cast won't attend the panel. As if it is not enough, the studio will also tease attendees with a look at "Green Lantern" and "Sucker Punch".
Other panels that will become spotlights that day are Marvel Studios' presentation for "Thor" and "Captain America : The First Avenger", and Screen Gems' panel for "Resident Evil: Afterlife". Moreover, Universal Pictures will use Hall H to introduce "Paul" and "Cowboys and Aliens".

Over 175 people attended the first VideoCamp Austin last Saturday, February 27, and the event was a rousing success. Co-organizers Talmadge Boyd and Weston Norton of Reel Social Media and Lights. Camera. Help. co-founder David Neff coordinated the event, which took place at The University of Texas at Austin's Jesse H. Jones Communication Center. Local aspiring filmmakers and videobloggers learned techniques and tricks of the trade from fellow attendees with years of experience.
VideoCamp Austin followed the barcamp model of the "unconference," in which a large piece of paper was taped to the wall with a handwritten schedule on it. Sessions were written on stickies and then placed in open time slots. Folks who showed up early to sign up had an idea of what they wanted to talk about, such as Arts from the Streets filmmaker Layton Blaylock's presentation on making a documentary. However, spontaneity was the main focus, as Rachel Farris of PetRelocation.

This Friday at the Ritz, we're bringing in Mc Frontalot and the documentary about his movement - Nerdcore Rising.
Nerdcore, for the uninitiated, is basically rap for geeks. Mc Chris has been hosting screenings of some of his favorite movies at the Alamo every time he's been in town for a gig, with last month's choice being Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.
Chris Trew from Coldtowne just released his new Terp2It album, My Weiner Touches the Ceiling.
And this morning, friends at MTV sent me a new video they'd put together, just because. These guys are calling themselves Sniper Twins these days, but if you've been around long enough, you'll remember them as Nothing Liquid from the old Open Screen Night days. At any rate, with the Nerdcore Rising screening coming later this week, it seemed like the timing was right to share Stack The Memory with you as well.
