We’re taking a moment to thank Michael Lunsford for their continued support of Desert Bus for Hope 2018!
You may be familiar with Michael’s work every year illustrating the Official Desert Bus for Hope poster, an amazing work of art crafted on-the-fly throughout the event. Or, you may be familiar with their current comic, Speak of the Devil, an urban fantasy mystery comic. Or, perhaps you may be familiar with their previous comic, Supernormal Step, a comic about Fiona and her adventures dealing with a strange magical parallel universe.
Thank you Michael Lunsford for your continued contributions and support of Desert Bus for Hope!

As always on Zeta, we had a calm, normal, totally-sedate shift. Here’s some of what you missed tonight.
We start the night with another round of Keep Talking and No One Legos.
TQ kindly broke out the nail polish and gave manicures to Cam and Ben
The run of “Ashdrew” the driver has come to an end. Long live Sanic. Oh wait. He crashed again. Long live Sora.
We had our first Ice Cream Cords of the run!
And finally we discussed how Desert Bus eats your memories, and what happens when you aren’t on shift doesn’t exist.
Keep watching for more hijinks!!
