How Hard Can Seattle Rock Air Guitar Regionals?

It's going down tonight. Contestants are carb-loading, judges are wrapping up their pre-competition detox diets, and the crowd--frankly, the crowd was born ready for the Seattle regionals of 2008's Cuervo Black US Air Guitar Championship tour! This is the first year that Seattle (home of Jimi, for God's sake!) gets to compete, and we have not a shadow of a doubt that local Air Guitar artists have more than enough attitude and commitment to the true patriot's pastime to stylistically slaughter the rest of America's contenders.

Who will rise above all other Seattleites to represent us at the national showdown in San Francisco?? Who has the finger dexterity, the charisma, the stance, the sheer love of rock strong enough to claim the regional title?! There is nowhere else to be tonight. This is it.

8 p.m. // Chop Suey, 914 E Madison // $16 dos // All Ages, Bar w/ ID

Here is 2007's winning performance from Air Guitar World Champion, Ochi "Dainoji" Yosuke. Shoot for the stars!
