Air Sex At SXSW!
If you ever get the chance to see Flann OMalley pull all of his punches on stage at Air Sex, not much is left to the imagination as to what happens with him behind the bedroom. The Bellingham contestant holds no move back when impressing judges and audiences, and he is set to perform at the SXSW show here in Austin. Let’s get to know the man behind the libido!
How did you get into Air Sex?
I worked at a music venue in my hometown of Bellingham, WA called the Nightlight Lounge. We brought the Air Sex National Tour here and I thought it was a funny/cool idea, so I participated. Many of my friends said, “Wow, it’s like someone went out and designed a contest just for you.”
Where has the Air Sex Tour brought you?
I won my hometown contest and was flown out for the 2009 World Championships in Austin. It was my first time in Austin and I fell in love with the place, it rocks uncompromisingly. My friend had been filming a documentary about my band and the music scene in my hometown, and he decided to document my whole Air Sex experience as well. Air Sex gave the film an amazing subplot that we think has turned our documentary from a good one into a great one. Also, I was interviewed and given a full page story in the Western Washington University newspaper “The Western Front”. It contained some funny pictures and content that has brought me some enjoyable notoriety in Bellingham.
What do you expect from this SXSW show?
We just completed our first version of the documentary “American Rockstar”. This show is a “sneak peek” screening party at The New Movement for friends of ours that either live in Austin or will be there for the SXSW festivities (or anyone else that shows up). Our plan is to get a keg of Lonestar, do some improv comedy with one of Austin’s rising stars, Chris Trew, and then watch American Rockstar, (clap clap clap clap) deep in the heart of Texas.
What is the strangest thing I’ve seen during a competition?

What is the strangest thing I’ve seen during a competition?
During the 2009 Championships I had a giant penis cannon that was designed to shoot tapioca 40 feet over the crowd break or “go limp” on me while I was screwing a huge vagina curtain. That was a strange and unfortunate happening for me. But, I’d say the strangest and most funny thing I’ve seen was during an Air Sex Preliminary competition I hosted at the Nightlight in January. My couch crasher, who has aspergers syndrome, participated and wowed the audience with his very slow and methodical air cunnilinigus and eventual slothish air intercourse. He made it to the finals but was too distracted by the other contestants to get “in the zone” and take the title. It was a sight to behold.
