Air guitar is a family, we talk about that all the time. And when something bad happens to our family, we step in to help. But air guitarists have a history of helping others, outside the family, as well - and I don't just mean in the sense that air guitar, as a sport, works towards world peace (because when you're holding an air guitar, you can't be holding a gun). For starters, the Nashville and Portland qualifiers this year donated their proceeds to charity, and there have been air guitar hospital visits to entertain sick kids.

Last time, I talked about this year's big format changes to US Air Guitar competitions and what that might mean for next year. This time, I'd like to talk about... everything else. What to look for in competition, trends I saw emerging, and of course, the future.

The 2013 Air Guitar season has ended, and we are all (mostly) recovered. What better time, then, to reflect on the season that was? There were some big changes this year, and they affected the way the competitions shook out. Some of those changes are even going to affect next year's competitions. What is next year going to be like? And how did this year's performances set the tone for next time around?

As you are now well aware, Mean Melin won the Air Guitar World Championships! As you also know, that competition took place in Finland, which is a long hike from Kansas City. And if you've been keeping up with things, you'll know that he made a snap decision to go (after much peer pressure from his fellow air guitarists at the US National Air Guitar Championships) since he hadn't won his way there.
