Recap: 2015 Des Moines US Air Guitar Qualifier

Posted by Camille Barichello on Tue, Jun 16, 2015 @ 09:18 AM

Can I just begin by saying how much I love everyone for livestreaming their qualifier whenever possible? It enables me to write a real recap and not just piece it together from scraps on the internet... and it lets everyone see the glory. Today, I'm going to go back in time a minute to the Des Moines US Air Guitar Qualifier, which I skipped over in favor of talking about Boston while it was still fresh. Note: I realize I have skipped Nashville entirely. They were unable to livestream since it was both an air guitar competition and a burlesque show, so the burlesque part precluded livestreaming. I know who won - Noche! - but that's it. But Des Moines has video of the entire show. To save you a couple of hours, here's the recap!

Second-Hand Recap: 2014 Des Moines US Air Guitar Qualifier

Well, Des Moines will never be the same. A bevy of Kansas City air guitarists invaded the place and rocked faces, and in one case, shocked the audience with a dramatic pants malfunction. We'll get to that, although you've probably seen it all over the internet already.

Des Moines US Air Guitar Qualifier Second-Hand Recap

Posted by Camille Barichello on Fri, Jun 21, 2013 @ 02:30 PM

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).
