Los Angeles had a lot to live up to with their qualifier, which took place on Saturday. Not only are they the entertainment capital in the first place, but that is also where the US Air Guitar National Finals will be taking place on August 17th (get your tickets now!). So they can't half-ass their qualifier.
Since I'm so behind on the last 3 US Air Guitar Qualifiers (specifically San Diego, Portland, and Denver), I'm just going to roll them all up into one post. I know, I know, my SEO is crying buckets of tears since this makes one post instead of 3. I'll live.

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).

There are two primary things you need to know about Houston's US Air Guitar Qualifier, which took place on Friday. First, Air Bear is a party animal in a very literal sense, and second, there's a new air guitar dynasty brewing.

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.
