Can confirm. Had an absolute blast.

I once again got the privilege to playtest this adventure, and it’s wildly good. Even for those that may not get all the Nerdfighter references!

A great time had by all!

Hell yeah Mikey!

The movie poster for 1993 film Dave

Day off. Lazing on the couch. Partner and I decided to watch this movie for absolutely no reason.

I’m sure you can figure out how to change the font to Wingdings. I believe in you, friend.

I’m in. Or, I can be a beverage supplier.
Preferably both!

Well, things might turn around.

Wait. They just did.
I’m not a fan of any NHL team, but I am cheering for 7 games of good hockey.

James, Joe, our Anonymoose donation matcher, and Graham presenting an impressively (and comedically) large cheque in the amount of $205,069.69 to the BC Cancer Foundation, received by William Litchfield, executive director of the BC Cancer Foundation.

This morning, James, Joe, Graham, and our Anonymoose donation matcher paid a visit to the BC Cancer Foundation, ceremonial cheque in tow.

$205,069.69 is a very real number you made happen over the course of 24 hours with Desert Bus Express, and we couldn't be more grateful for your generosity.

Hell yeah, Ben. Excellent.

Chrono Trigger.

We have bussed 24 hours, and you raised over $204,000 for the BC Cancer Foundation (including our 100k of Anonymous matching). Thank you so much for your generosity during this bonus Desert Bus event.

We snuck a cheeky easter egg into Craft-Along page: the countdown timer to Desert Bus for Hope 2025, which'll start on Friday November 14th.

We'll talk more about that after #DBEx2025. :)

A hastily made clay figurine made during DB2024's Askmaster segment. I think it was supposed to be the Venus deMilo?

Are you an acrylic artisan, proficient with paper, unmatched in upcycling, or creatively skilled in any number of alliterative ways?

What Even Is Desert Bus Express? PJ here, James wrote an awesome article about all the deets for Desert Bus Express. I’m gonna get out of his way. Hey Friends! Let's dig into the details of Desert Bus Express! During 2020, 2021, an...

In 22 short day days we embark on #dbexpress, our 24 hour marathon benefitting the BC Cancer Foundation. But how does all this even work?

Great question. We made James answer it:

No, but I can suggest a few good bars?

I’m not writing this down for any reason in particular. Don’t worry, G.

Curses. I forgot I missed out on the weird Blue Milk beer.
Also, I now know what flavors a Tonka bean adds to a beer during fermentation. I was close at the time. (Vanilla, hazelnut, clove, other light spices)

Amazing!
Best news. Fuck Cancer.

Though, at number 1, my playing time has gone down significantly. My partner and I usually have at least a few shows we’re watching, or waiting to come back.

We just finished episode 3.
A wonderful show so far.

I’m stopping here for this evening because:
1. I don’t want it to end too quickly
& 2. I’m searching my home, as I’m worried you’ve been watching over my shoulder.

Someone should have stopped you.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t think I’m ready to go back to “normal” post-bus life yet. I’m still so sleepy. And, I doubt I’ll find the joy that I was feeling last week.

7 full days still blows my mind.

Welcome HOME friends. Sorry I couldn’t help unpack, I was prepping a thing.
But, it’s SO good to have you.

For all of you who’ve spent a lot of time with us at @desertbus.org this past week, I imagine it’s gonna be particularly hard this year to come off having us around 24/7.

Just wanna say. You got this. I won’t lie and tell you everything is fine, but I will say together we’re gonna persevere.

Alright. Now starts the post-bus blues, missing my friends, and scrolling through photos.DesertBus.org to find a new profile photo.
(Thanks @kolin.me)

This is happening!
Let’s close @desertbus.org the best way.

An egg looms over the subject of the photo. It seems to be stuck on the ceiling. It is - it’s the LRR Ceiling Egg.

Volunteering for @desertbus.org is a highlight of my year - yet something always seems to loom over me. Something AWESOME!

It's that time of year again! The 1 week before @desertbus.org challenge, where I put forth a dollar amount for you all to hit, and if you reach the goal something special happens! Last year it was a DJ session, the year before? Who can possibly remember that long ago :P
