Philly's Qualifier, the last one of the 2015 US Air Guitar "regular season," took place the same night as the Chicago semifinal. I feel like it got a little overshadowed by the bigger show taking place at the same time, especially since the bigger show had controversy and whatnot. But it was just as valid as any other competition, so let's not ignore it!

Boise, Idaho just had its first-ever official US Air Guitar qualifier! I want to say something about "things got noisy in Boise" but I'm sure that's just way too original.

I am lumping three qualifiers together into this post and it's still going to be super short. The reason for this is twofold: unsaved livestreams, and general lack of tweeting and social documentation. Sometimes those two go hand in hand, and it's going to be the death of me. And/or of this blog. Report on yourselves, air guitarists!

Deep in the heart of Texas, and deep in the heart of rock and roll, Brock McRock - everyone's favorite guy with a Texas-shaped belt buckle - put on Houston's US Air Guitar qualifier on May 28th.

Columbus, Ohio, a place that always surprises me by having a hockey team, is now ready to surprise you by delivering a US Air Guitar qualifier: their first, but hopefully not their last. This brings competitive air guitar back to Ohio (there had been several Cleveland competitions lo these many years ago), and it looks like it converted everyone who was lucky enough to be at the Woodlands Tavern.

This post is late, but what are you going to do about it? I try to wait until the official recap is up on the USAG blog before posting mine, but if it doesn't show up, eventually I've got to throw mine out there, right?

Chicago's competitive air guitar scene is a strange beast. It's chock-full of talent, but there are also a lot of big names there who are retired or semi-retired. This year, like last year, the qualifier was a small and intimate affair, wherein everyone went to round 2 and the venue was a basement that mocked at people's attempts to connect to the internets. But that didn't stop it from being a totally face-rocking show.

Talk about your late-breaking news. Details have literally JUST NOW surfaced about an air guitar qualifier held at Burning Man last summer - right after 2014 US Air Guitar Nationals, so it was technically part of the 2015 season.
