Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Jordan has blogged you through the ribbon cutting on DB8, and now it’s my turn! My name is Mike — though some of you may know me as IQ 2000 — and I’ll be taking the reins through the Prime Time shift until some time this evening!

So let’s get things underway with a new contest!! James was just telling us about his new website, trombonetoss.com (it’s SFW, we promise!) The site features, well, an animated gif of James caber-tossing a trombone to the the infectiously silky melody of Epic Sax Solo. Where do you come in? Well, we’d like you to make a Trombone Tosser gif!

Using the subject line “Trombone Tosser,” send in an animated gif of James tossing a trombone to contest@desertbus.org. It need only be two frames (a head bobble, for example, certainly wouldn’t go amiss) but you can go for more if you like. Deadline is 6pm Pacific time — about two hours from now. Our winning entry will receive a lovely crocheted pig as reward! You may wish to check out photos.desertbus.org for some helpful image resources!
