Here on Desert Bus, we love history. Especially our history of gags and references going back to previous runs. That's why we're kicking off two silent auctions that harken back to Night Watch's antics from 2021 - and you have until 2am PT to claim these historic artifacts for yourself!

Handpainted DB Shift-Themed Gunpla

A Gyan gundam painted in the blue of Night Watch. It bears a round shield and a tall yellow sword.

We feel a bit set up for this one, but you know, we don't feel bad about that. Last year, Ian accepted a challenge to assign Gundams to each Desert Bus shift. Now, one year later, crafter Brandon Nguyen provided us with each of those selections, hand painted in their appropriate shift colors. They even come with accessories you can play around with when they land at your home!

Current Bid: $876.54

USS Tucson Cross Stitch Poster

A cross-stitched diagram of a bus labeled "U.S.S. Tucson." It has the standard spaceship features, such as a warp core, a charity drive matrix, and of course, meme storage.

The adventures of the USS Tucson moved and confused us for many a Night Watch during 2021. From blowing up Zeta to losing Ensign Ben for multiple days in a row, this storied starship lives on in the hearts of many. It also lives on in this beautiful cross-stitch recreation donated by SparklesPNW and based on the official diagram created by Desert Bus's own Jen "MangledPixel" Carling. Auction, engage!

Current Bid: $1,111.11

(Psst... you can also get the USS Tucson poster and playmat on the Desert Bus store!)

A 2021 gif showing Graham and Ian in red Star Trek uniforms. Ian places his booted foot on the back of Graham's chair, performing an "Advanced Riker" sit.
