Philadelphia has now closed out the US Air Guitar qualifier season. This means that the last semifinal, the Southeast semi that Philly feeds into, is the last one before National Finals in Kansas City. It also means excitement has amped up another notch.

Nashville's US Air Guitar Qualifier took place before the Northeast Semifinal, but let's be honest, I wasn't there in person, so I wrote the in-person recap of the NYC semis first. That's life. Now you get to learn about Nashville.

The DC qualifier - probably the only thing both sides of the aisle can agree on nowadays - took place like 2 weeks ago and I never said anything about it! I am hanging my head in hardcore shame! Please accept my apologies as I regale you with tales of beer, very small fires, and wrestling. And, you know, air guitar.

The same night as Portland's, San Francisco put on their Qualifier! The west coast was basically throbbing with air guitar fury. It looked like this took place in the world's most well-lit bar, but other photos told a different tale. One thing that was confirmed by everyone was that it didn't matter what the lighting was like since all anyone could see was underwear. A veritable maelstrom of panties. That's right. Allow me to explain.
This qualifier brought in creative features from various different events around the country. One being, of course, the "Panty Bonus." The audience was given a big pile of underwear to throw at the contestants to show approval, and getting high numbers of undies chucked at you could improve your score. They also used the opening battle royale concept to choose the order of competitors, rather than just plain old picking numbers - a group of competitors went onstage at the same time, played the same mystery song together, and whoever was best got a more favorable, i.e. later, spot in the order. They also did the new classic "everyone gets their own song" second round tactic.
