AIR GUITAR REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS :: TUESDAY, APRIL 13TH :: 8:30PM

We’ve been Air Guitar enthusiasts for a long time now. So enthusiastic, that we expanded our Air-activity repertoire (and made it sexy!). But sometimes, you gotta go back to basics. Sometimes you gotta say, “HEY, half-naked dude doing Air Sex! Try this on for size!” and then you throw him an air guitar and he goes “Wow! For me?! I’ve never been given anything this nice before!” and you say “Yeah. For you. Rock it, kid.” and then instead of humping the ground, he humps the air and wails on an air guitar for all to see. And the crowd. Goes. Wild.

Uh, so yeah. It’s time for that! Or almost time, actually. Right now, there’s plenty of time for you to craft your act, to master those speed fingers, to pick the ultimate song for air rockage! And then you can sign up and say “No! It’s not weird at ALL that I was practicing this routine in front of my mirror for A MONTH!” and then you win prizes! On TUESDAY, APRIL 13th, the US AIR GUITAR Regionals will be hosted by legendary Air Rockers, Bjorn Turoque & judged by 2008 World Champion Hot Lixx Hulahan (heads up, you should probably think of an awesome name… these guy got it DOWN!).

With zealous pride we announce the 2010 US Air Guitar tour, now 30% awesomer. Scale back? Hell no. The road awaits, and this year we’re hittin’ it like Tiger Woods. After sell-out regional competitions across the United States last summer, including two nights at DC’s 9:30 Club and consecutive nights at San Francisco’s Independent, US Air Guitar has expanded its tour by two additional months, stretching coast to coast in April and then playing a couple of shows of biblical proportion in May and June. Inspired by mega-churches and God Himself, a month after the first tour, air guitarists will confess their sins at a colossal Vegas show. Then in June, US Air Guitar headlines the historic Fillmore Auditorium – made famous by The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, and now, uh, us. Finally, after extracting the greatest professional air guitarists from 17 regional shows and sending them each to New York City for the National Championships, our US winner will book passage to Oulu, Finland, and represent the stars and stripes against 30 other countries at the Air Guitar World Championships. Last year the competition was tight, with two Americans tying for second and a Frenchman named Gunther Love taking the crown. But this year America has an imaginary axe to grind.

TO SIGN UP TO COMPETE, ENTER HERE! There are no preliminary Austin rounds this year, so competing in this event will be the only way to win your shot at the national title!

The event is Tuesday, April 13th at 8:00pm. Tix are $10 at the door or $8.50 in advance! Go here to purchase tickets, and start practicing that wicked guitar solo.
