As you likely know, the US Air Guitar National Finals are taking place in Los Angeles this weekend, preceded on Thursday by the Dark Horse competition, and your faithful correspondent will be there, along with an array of Boston air guitarists who will be playing in one of those two competitions (or both, if all goes well). You'll be seeing Danny Tanner Tantrum and Rockupine competing on the national stage, and Captain Airhab on the Dark Horse stage and, if that goes well, nationals as well. If you want to give Jean-Luc Pickguard Boston air guitarist status (even though he's from Brooklyn) since that's where he earned his semi-final berth, and that performance would have been enough to get him to Dark Horse even if it hadn't taken him through to the semis... well, by all means, add one to our tally. The Marquis was also a Boston competitor - he just secured his semi-final spot before the Boston qualifier came around - and he'll be competing in the national finals himself.
It promises to be a fun-filled weekend with some amazing performances at both competitions (expect a Dark Horse preview post in the next couple days!), so if you're going to be in LA or know someone who is, make plans! And if you're not going to be in LA, don't worry - watch this space for updates and recaps.
