BEARDS
The NYC Beard and Moustache Championshipsx" take place tonight (May 16) @ Knitting Factory in NYC. "Among the competitors: World champion Heinz Christophel of Germany, a three-time world champion in the full beard freestyle category, Phil Olsen, manager of the World Beard and Moustache Championships and championship hopeful Jack Passion." [Eyewitness News]. Gothamist interviewed the organizer.
AIR GUITARS
"For 2006, the US Air Guitar Championships has gone nationwide, with 13 regionals across the country. Judging is based on technical prowess, stage presence, and the ever elusive quality of "airness." All guitars must be air — because let’s face it: Anyone can find the right fret on a cardboard mock-up, but it takes serious skill to play the harmonic on the 12th fret of an air Les Paul.....Regional winners compete against defending US champ the "Rockness Monster" at NYC's storied Bowery Ballroom; plus, they have a crack at the Worlds in Oulu, Finland." [San Francisco Guardian]. Satanicide are playing the June 22nd event. Tix are on sale.

I think a table tag is screwed up or something...

I've spent the last 2 days moving the site to a new server. Maybe something got screwed up.
What looks messed up? Are you on a Mac or PC? What browser?
It looks fine to me in Mozilla and IE on a PC.
