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?

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.

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.
