U.S.A wins Air Guitar title in Finland

Forget the Olympic medal count, America just won the only title that matters Friday at the Air Guitar World Championships in Oulu, Finland.  San Francisco's Hot Lixx Hulahan, who beat out over 20 aspiring air guitar gods earlier this month in his hometown to take the nationals Aug. 8, apparently bested stiff competition from countries like Germany and the Netherlands to bring air guitar bragging rights back to the States for the first time since 2004. 

More details as we get them (the event just wrapped around 1 p.m. PST), but rest assured over the weekend that America is once again tops at air guitar (Japan's Ochi Yosuke held the title of the world's best for the past two years).

Check out the interview for heebnvegan that Hot Lixx Hulahan (about air guitar, vegetarianism, and more) did yesterday while on the plane en route to Finland: http://heebnvegan.blogspot.com/2008/08/vegetarian-us-champ-wins-air-guitar.html.
