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.

Also on Friday night, the St. Louis US Air Guitar Qualifier went off. It was sibling rivalry night in air guitar for sure, because as well as Dry Ice's sister winning Houston (and therefore bringing the two of them into direct competition at the Midwest Semi-Final in Chicago), you had Kansas City's Stack siblings, Stack Attack and Stack Hammer, descending upon an unsuspecting St. Louis, as well as Mean Melin's sister Crystal Richter (who would only wind up facing him down if they meet in the national finals, since St. Louis feeds into Chicago's semi-finals, but he'll be competing in the NYC semi-finals).

Friends and air guitar fans! Thunderball, who came in 2nd in the Kansas City US Air Guitar Qualifier, needs your help. The competitors who come in first and second place continue on to the semi-final for their region, which in his case is in New York City. However, only the first-place finisher gets prize money to use towards their travel. So he is trying to raise a few bucks to help defray his travel costs so that he can compete and doesn't need to give up his spot in the semi.
