Hot Lixx, known to his mother as Craig Billmeier, wowed the spectators in Oulu, Finland, and walked away with the world air guitar title on Aug. 20 after two rounds of competition. He advanced to Finland after beating 24 others to win the national title in San Francisco earlier this month. Hot Lixx's prize, probably stronger than pride, was a Finnish handmade Flying Finn electric guitar. According to a press release, US air guitar officials were reflective as their representative went on to his one moment in time, receiving heartfelt congratulations from the other contestants from around the world. "It's certainly in keeping with the true heart of air guitar, which is world peace," said US Air Guitar co-founder Kriston Rucker, via text message. Of course, that's referring to the Air Guitar ideology which states that if one is holding an air guitar, one cannot, at the same time, be holding a gun. (Photo by Misha Vladimirskiy) |
