Finally, the big show, the crowning acheivement of the 2015 US Air Guitar season - US National Finals were contested on Saturday, August 8th at the Hawthorne Theatre in Portland OR. Despite a truly dumb beer setup (the bar and drinking area was way at the back, all-ages [and thus boozeless] in the front), the show managed to go on and the air guitarists still managed to pull off their routines. Hey, you wouldn't host a swim meet without a pool, would you?

Portland is the home of the US Air Guitar Nationals this year, but first they have to have a qualifier. That went down on May 29th. Kara Picante hosted the event, and rocked the audience's world with an intro featuring herself and her "Hell Hussies" - bellydancing minions who, as in air guitar, told a whole story with just their bodies.

Well, Boston, you fought well, but Portland beat you in the end. Dreams: they come true for other people.

Portland seems like the kind of city that would intrinsically appreciate something like an air guitar competition. Isn't the whole schtick of the place that everyone there has some really weirdly specific talent? At any rate, they lived up to their reputation. Talent ahoy, my friends.

Since I'm so behind on the last 3 US Air Guitar Qualifiers (specifically San Diego, Portland, and Denver), I'm just going to roll them all up into one post. I know, I know, my SEO is crying buckets of tears since this makes one post instead of 3. I'll live.
