As usual, there's a ton of stuff being organised just for YOU. Well, not technically just for you, but heck, no one's going to oppose if you show up anyway...
Friday 1st - UK AIR GUITAR CHAMPIONSHIPS
You know you want to. There's something deep inside of you that makes you pluck those invisible
strings whenever Sweet Child of Mine blesses a pair of speakers. Well, now's your chance to show off your skills. The UK air guitar championships takes place this friday at the Islington Academy and as a spectator it'll cost you just £8 to get in - that's gotta be worth it for the laughs. You might just win a guitar from Brian May's collection. But of course, you don't really need a real one, do you?

Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd - WATCH THIS SPACE
The National Theatre's free outdoor festival ends its run this weekend, so shame on you if you've not made it down there yet. There's music on both days from 10pm to 1am in the Late Lounge and you can take your own favourite songs for the DJ to spin - how cool is that? If you're wondering what to do when the fun stops, you can always ask the fortune teller, Simon Daw. FREE
Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd - WATERBORN
You've got to book this to make sure you get in but it's free and
sounds like it might be well worth a look. Performance company Small
Wonder are treating us to an outdoor display of dramatic lighting
(including fireworks, yay!), areial dance and projections.
Swiss Cottage Park, Eton Avenue, NW3 3EL. Call 020 7974 4590. FREE
Friday 1st - BLANK TAPE SPILLAGE FETE
We've all got them. Mix tapes, made lovingly by friends and ex-boyfriends to mark monumentous occasions. You just can't remember what they are. See what happened when Mat Fowler and Matt Hunt sent 21 artists a blank tape to fill and design packaging for. Listen to the recordings at separate
listening posts, all in a kitchy village fete setting. Bizarre. Click here for more.
