Molly Lewis & Ben Soileau will be calling on
Wednesday, November 14th at 2:00pm PST
Molly Lewis writes songs and plays the ukulele. She is a regular performer at W00tstock, participated in Jonathan Coulton’s January 2011 JoCo Cruise Crazy, and has toured multiple times with The Doubleclicks. In 2014 Molly wrote and performed an original musical, Thanksgiving vs. Christmas. She co-hosts a podcast titled “The Peanuts Gallery” with Thanksgiving vs. Christmas co-writer Josh A Cagan, and runs a successful song-based Patreon. For all things Molly, visit her site right here!
As for Ben,
He was brought across in 1228.
Preyed on humans for their blood.
Now he wants to be mortal again.
To repay society for his sins.
To emerge from his world of darkness.
From his endless forever night.

Now that we’ve gotten past our morning, time to start our afternoon flight with a live auction! Up for grabs is this coffee-grade, handmade from hemlock, poplar and pine table decorated in the theme of Link to the Past.
Around Noon PST we will be auctioning this off LIVE ON STREAM!
We run Live Auctions in the chat on twitch.tv/desertbus. In order to bid, you’ll need a Twitch account, a Donor Account on desertbus.org (create yours here), and you’ll need to link the two together (visit your Donor Account page to link accounts).
Can’t wait to see you there, and good luck!
Holy Smoke and Mirrors, it’s Penn Jillette!
We’ve got Penn calling in for his usual antics and jovial enthusiasm! Keep an eye out for that around 11am PST today!
Penn Jillette is an American magician/illusionist, juggler, comedian, musician, inventor, actor, and best-selling author known for his work with fellow magician Teller as half of the team Penn & Teller. More importantly (to us at least), he’s a big part of how we’re all here doing what we do. Penn & Teller’s Smoke and Mirrors for the Sega CD contains the Desert Bus mini game and without it, Desert Bus literally wouldn’t exist!
Penn will have TWO lots during his call, both being of the grandeur you’d expect from a Penn call-in. So please keep an eye on our twitter (@DesertBus) for how these prizes will be handled and get your chance at them!
