(Gibson) The 2011 U.S. Air Guitar Championships will be held this summer at Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Turner Hall Ballroom, wherein participants will vie for the title of biggest, best, fakest guitar player of the year.

"U.S. Air Guitar is devoted to taking our nation's unofficial pastime out of the bedroom and putting it up on the world stage," said the World Air Guitar Association in a statement this week. It will all go down on June 8 at 8 p.m., with advance tickets going on sale for $10 on April 8 and costing $12 on event day.

Founded 14 years ago, the World Air Guitar Association abides by three rules: 1) The guitar must be invisible, 2) Air roadies are permitted but can't remain on stage during the performance, and 3) Backup bands aren't allowed; performances must be strictly solo. more on this story
