Steve Dengler is a geek many geeks want to be. He flies airplanes, speaks Italian and collects game memorabilia. Actually, just about anybody ought to be more like the modest man behind Dracogen Inc. He and a friend started a company straight out of university, and eventually the work paid off. Now he spends his resources beating bureaucracy, co-starring in a web comic, and overall getting good things to happen.
We can all only aspire to the levels of awesomeness and philanthropy exemplified by Dracogen, which is an organizing sponsor of Child’s Play and has provided many of the awesome auction lots we are excited to give away.
Desert Bus for Hope would like to thank Steve and Dracogen for all their support in the organization of Desert Bus for Hope.
Get yourself poké or Portal gear. Driver Cam has been so engrossing: challenges, giveaways, general goofiness. While Andy takes us through a tension-release exercise (or is it tension-retention?), I’m writing to ensure the busking doesn’t cause you to tragically miss out on silent auctions. (The “I” in this case is Shandi.)

Bidders away.
Oh, viewers. Oh, readers. This Zeta shift. I think it’s possibly the best Zeta shift we’ve ever done, and not just because Matt raised the most cash out of all the Zeta shifts this year. We had some incredible events.
Firstly, Dix and Ian took Cam to the….GAY BAR.
As if that wasn’t hilarious enough, we proceeded to absolutely BREAK Andrew by showing him the Singing Chicken hat.
We discovered the existence of A FRENCH DESERT BUS DRIVE!!! Go check them out here.
We auctioned off this outrageously awesome Weeping Angel blanket…
And then we proceeded to just QWOP balls for the rest of the night. The gifs and images say it all.
MomoCon heads into its 10th annual anime and gaming convention this coming May, bringing geeks of all ages to Atlanta, GA. In 2013, over 12,000 gamers, anime fans, artists, cosplayers and cartoon-enthusiasts enjoyed three days of fun. Like Desert Bus for Hope, MomoCon started as the efforts of a small group of close-knit folks and has grown into a huge amalgamation of many things awesome. Momocon now hosts game tournaments, screenings, workshops, performances, vendors and all things con-related.
MomoCon provided us with the amazing signed Normandy model and did an amazing job helping to spread the word about Desert Bus prior to the start of the run.
Congratulations, AmyLouise!
The rest of the entries are below the cut!

We have a unique donation drive going on right now until 12:45. For a donation of $7, you put in a vote for Matt going to the Gay Bar. For a donation of $6, you vote for Matt to choose another member of the Moonbase to take to the Gay Bar. And for $5, you just let us do whatever.
This year, Matt is unable to dance as vicariously due to a foot injury, so any Gay Bar antics will take place in the white spinny chair.
So donate, my pretties. And if any of you can photoshop the following GIF to include Matt’s face, send it to me at stuff@desertbus.org, because YES PLEASE.
