Thoughts on the US Air Guitar Dark Horse Competition

Posted by Camille Barichello on Fri, Jul 25, 2014 @ 09:30 AM

It's what you might call "Dark Horse season" - the season where we're bearing down on the big US Air Guitar Nationals weekend, and everyone who hasn't already qualified for the national finals is itching to know whether they were invited to the Dark Horse invitational competition. For the uninitiated, this is a "best of the rest" type thing, where people who didn't already win their way into the finals to get another shot - the top 3 or 5 air guitarists at the Dark Horse then get into the finals. The competitors are selected by the USAG brass, based on their performances this year.

Second-Hand Recap: 2014 US Air Guitar Northwest Semifinal

Posted by Camille Barichello on Thu, Jul 17, 2014 @ 09:00 AM

The third semi-final of the 2014 US Air Guitar Season has just taken place in San Francisco! Look, ok, I don't think of San Francisco as the Northwest either, but I don't make the rules or name the names. This semifinal brought together the top 3 air guitarists of the San Francisco, Portland, and Santa Cruz qualifiers - which would make it the smallest semi with only 3 qualifiers feeding into it, except that no one from Detroit showed up to the Chicago semifinal. But big things come in small packages sometimes. This was an intense battle!

Nashville's US Air Guitar Qualifier took place before the Northeast Semifinal, but let's be honest, I wasn't there in person, so I wrote the in-person recap of the NYC semis first. That's life. Now you get to learn about Nashville.
