Melin advanced to the competition's 2013 National Finals in Los Angeles on Aug. 17. Unfortunately, there he lost first place by a tenth of a point. Melin knew then he was good enough to compete at the Air Guitar World

to earn the last few spots in the Air Guitar World Championship. Sure enough, Melin advanced. After playing "Wankery," a song Melin composed specifically for air guitar, in the first round, and "Electric Butt" by Wedding Crashers in the second round, Melin's hard work paid off. He became the 2013 Air Guitar World Champion. "We do this because we are serious about rock music." Melin said. "Some people dance, I don't dance... We know it's silly and do it anyways. It gives you a sense of freedom." Melin said he originally planned to retire, but decided to defend his title next year. For everyone interested in playing air guitar or those who are curious about what an air guitar competition is like, keep an eye on usairguitar.com. They will be coming back to Kansas City next year.

KU Football = Gateway to Gameday!
News from the U
The weather may not be cooperating by offering crisp, cool air, but KU Football Season is definitely here. And KU Football means Gateway to Gameday at the Kansas Union.
Two hours prior to every home game, the Union opens its doors for what's come to be known as THE pre-game party. Every floor provides gameday activities and special deals and discounts.
**Level 4:** KJHK Radio hosts its live Pre-Game Show on Jayhawk Walk. Every week they'll give away a free pair of game tickets.
Level 3: Cool off and relax at the The Market, where you can pick up anything from a full meal to ice cream. A tip to beat the heat...any size iced tea is just 99 cents.
Level 2: Get the best KU fan gear from the KU Bookstore. Enjoy the "Homefield Advantage," with gameday deals and a different FREE gift each week with purchase. This week—a free KU tumbler when you buy any MV Sport $9.99 t-shirt. Because this game is a "Salute to the Services," a military ID gets you an additional 10% off.
Level 1: For just a buck and a quarter, bowl a game, shoes included, at Jaybowl. As you leave the Union for the stadium, visit the KU Dining Tailgate Tent in Baumgartner Plaza and fill up on tailgate favorites for as little as $1.00.
Here's hoping that cooler football weather is right around the corner. Until then, why not grab your sunscreen, come out this weekend, support your Jayhawks and enjoy the final few days of summer?
We'll see you at the U!
