Air Guitar Nation

Since mom was in Columbus for the last week, Dad and I had some nice bonding time this weekend. Saturday we went to see Air Guitar Nation, which was pretty amazing. It is a documentary about the national air guitar competition, and the world air guitar championship. Very entertaining. Leave it to my dad to know about a movie like this.

Anyway, after the movie, we decided to go to Lill's, a tiny bistro about a block up from the movie theater. Since the weather was gorgeous, we sat outside on their patio. To enter the restaurant, you have to go through an iron gate, up a flight of stairs which lands you on their brick patio. Then if you want to dine inside, you can enter the restaurant. So basically, where we were sitting was a level above the street. (I have a reason for telling you this.) While trying to choose a wine, the owner came out to tell us that the one we had chosen was not available. Just as she was about to suggest a new bottle, we all heard this very loud, clanking noise. It kind of sounded like a truck or car dragging something, like a fire hydrant. And it was coming down the street, towards us. Of course, it had all of our attention, so as we were trying to figure out, we saw the culprit. A small to medium sized dog was running down the middle of the street with a table attached to it's leash. And from the sounds of it, it was an iron table. Apparently, the owner had taken his dog to a coffee shop, tied it to a table, and gone inside for a minute. The dog started running, with the table following it, and kept on going. It seems that the noise was scaring the dog so he was running to get away from it, but in doing so, the noise kept following him, meaning he kept running. It was just very bizarre. Instead of suggesting a wine, the woman went running after the dog, eventually calming it down enough to stop it. Moral of the story: make sure you tie your dog to a secure object. Oh, and go see Air Guitar Nation.
