Did you know that Tucson's US Air Guitar Qualifier took place in a mall? In broad daylight? With children? No one even had an air name or a song that they had brought with them! It was basically air guitar improv, or maybe air guitar from the ground up. Veteran competitor Vlad DM Wailer and the event's ATC (that's Air Traffic Control, for the uninitiated: the person who pushes the space bar and plays the music), Jonas, being the only people with US Air Guitar experience, did their best to educate their air guitarists and bring them into the fold, although they were hampered a bit by the venue (no beer) and the rules of the guitar festival that this was a part of (no shirtlessness, and definitely no raunchiness, which means that the entirety of Boston air guitar would pretty much be disqualified).

The Nashville US Air Guitar Qualifier went off like a sexy explosion on Saturday. It was a benefit for Notes for Notes, which is a nonprofit that helps kids get access to music instruction and instruments (whether that includes air guitars is not known). So they're already better than the rest of us - they rocked for good, and the rest of us just rocked for beer and glory (and world peace). But wait - it gets better.

You might think that Des Moines wouldn't have as much rock to bring as, say, a larger city. If you're one of my Boston compatriots, you may not even believe in Des Moines as a city and not, say, a cornfield. Sources assure me that Des Moines does exist and does, in fact, rock. And if you think the Des Moines qualifier wouldn't bring much in terms of air guitar greatness, you would be wrong. Just like with the Manhattan qualifier for Boston air guitarists, it's close by and accessible to contestants from other cities - so it's a fantastic second opportunity if you didn't win (or a great practice round if you did... more on that later).
