Last Thursday night we went to go check out the San Francisco Regional of the U.S. Air Guitar Championship.

And it was awesome.

The competition worked like this-- the first round consisted of all the contestants going up on stage and doing some air guitar for a minute on any song (or medley) they chose. They would then be judged by four judges and the highest scoring ten contestants would come back to the compulsary round where a song was picked for them and they'd have to come up and basically improv their air guitar mastery on the spot.
