You might be reading that title and thinking "wait, you went to Finland?" No... but it isn't a second-hand recap because I watched the whole thing live online. Now that that's out of the way, let's dive in!

The Air Guitar World Championships have their own Dark Horse competition, just like US Air Guitar's Dark Horse. Well, not just like it. For one thing, there's no second round! It's just scores from the first round, and that's that. Also, just like in the actual world championship judging, there are 5 judges rather than 3, and the high and low scores are discarded. This Dark Horse is not an invitational, like the US one is, but rather a walk-on convention.

Well, folks, that's another US air guitar season in the books. All the qualifiers, the semi-finals, the Dark Horse, and even the annual karaoke night have come and gone. And the culminating event of all of this took place on Saturday night at the House of Blues in LA: the 2013 US Air Guitar National Finals. Now that it's all said and done, a winner has been crowned (or belted) and will be competing in the Air Guitar World Championships in Oulu, Finland this coming weekend, and my voice is entirely lost. Good thing this blog is a text blog and not a video one, then, because even though I sound like a wheezing, squeaking, un-oiled machine, I can still tell you what went down.

Thursday night was the US Air Guitar Dark Horse competition, and I promised to live-tweet it, and I let you down. I tried to tweet, I promise! No one's phone got any service in the bar - but I took notes the whole time, so here you go.

Thursday night in LA, at a bar called Bar 107, the US Air Guitar Dark Horse competition will be contested. Today, I'm going to run over exactly what the Dark Horse is, for the newbies among us, who's in it this year, and why it is amazing. You're going to get so amped that you won't be able to sleep tonight... and you're going to hope that Nationals are in your city next year so the Dark Horse can be there too.
