OK, but how does tying it to a piece of driftwood, or anything for that
matter, help the plant? I have had it in a vase sort of dish for about 8
months now.

You can carry the driftwood piece into the house when it gets too cold or
you can place the driftwood piece in the best spot in your garden to get
some rain and filtered sunlight. The driftwood won't grow any bigger so it
won't wrap around the air plant and make it disappear.

Here's an example: http://www.fawnridge.com/ricky/driftwood.jpg This one
is hanging on the wall. Notice the plants in the bottom are stuffed into
holes that I drilled and the orchids on the top are tied on with sisal
twine. The sisal twine will rot away in a year and the roots will have
wrapped around the driftwood. Since it never gets that cold in S. Florida I
don't have to bring this one indoors.
