Recap: 2014 Air Guitar World Championships

Posted by Camille Barichello on Mon, Sep 08, 2014 @ 09:00 AM

The season is over, the planes are flying home with tired, smelly, and extremely happy air guitarists on them, and that means it's time for a recap of the 2014 Air Guitar World Championships. Once again, I wasn't there; once again, I watched it live, as much as I could with the livestream dying on me constantly, and made do with recordings for the parts I missed. And now I am here for you. I would've been here for you earlier, but I missed a couple of performances and was waiting to see if video of them would appear. It did not, so I'm shamefully totally unaware of how their performance went down.

Help the WORLD CHAMPION air guitarist pay for his trip to Finland!

Posted by Camille Barichello on Thu, Aug 29, 2013 @ 01:20 PM

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.

2013 Air Guitar World Championships Dark Horse Update

Posted by Camille Barichello on Thu, Aug 22, 2013 @ 11:00 PM

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.
