Start your engines! This year we are doing something a little different—and a little awesome. Since the driving does not officially start until 9 p.m. PST, we are kicking the drive off with an opening lap … of ENTERTAINMENT!

Join the Desert Bus team as we live stream from the Moonbase and from remote locations across North America, featuring special performers John Anealio and The Doubleclicks for an event before the event. The Opening Lap starts at 7:30 p.m. PST and drives us right up to our official 9 p.m. start.

Singer-songwriter John Anealio will entertain us with geek inspired music from the world of comics, Dungeons and Dragons, and so much more, streaming live from New Jersey.

Nerd-folk duo The Doubleclicks, streaming from Portland, Oregon, will perform their humorous geek-flavored music. Mixed in between our talented performances, we will be showing a behind-the-scenes tour of the Moonbase and what it takes to put on an epic event like Desert Bus for Hope.
