The 2009 Seattle Air Guitar Championships: the spandex was ferocious, the fringe mesmerizing, and the audience filled with royal assholes. Unfortunately it fell to us to bust his air bubble. He lacked the fringe and ultimate "airness" which led us to give Cyclops the single low-blow score of 5.9 and gave Dick Courage the title of 2009 Seattle Air Guitar Champion. more ›

LOSE YOUR AIR VIRGINITY: A first for Seattle, tonight you can get pointers (or even perform) at the Air Sex Championships. Yes, you read that correctly. Think Air Guitar sans the guitar solo, but instead swapping it with two minutes of sexy, saucy, or pure naaasty love-making moves with an imaginary sex partner. All to love-makin' tunes sure to put the audience at El Corazon in the mood. And just so you don't start flashing dollar bills, there is no nakedness at this dry humping festival, however creative costumes are encouraged. more ›

Among other contestants, Mung was up against a guy in a silky, v-necked emerald-green jumpsuit, a crowd-pleaser by the name of Chester Swollen-Gourd, and a bespectacled dude by the name of Chop Chop Chop Stop.

The three rounds went swiftly, with some spikes of excitement (one contestant during Round 1 ran back and clumsily leaped onto the bar for part of his 60-second performance!) and some not-so-exciting stretches (the lone female, despite her rocker-blonde hair in her eyes, wasn't inspiring). more ›

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. more ›
