We showed off Desert Bus VR a bit earlier in the week when Randy Pitchford called in. The dashboard looks a little bit sparse and I think you can help us out with that. Until 5:30 PM PST we are running an art challenge to create a Sticker that will go somewhere on the dash of the VR bus.
There’s going to be room for 5 Stickers so here’s what we need from you. Please submit your idea for a sticker as a file at a maximum of 1024×1024 in a hi-res JPG, PNG, or Vector file. Keep the designs clean and copyright free! We will select 9 finalists who will then be entered into a donation drive to pick the top 5.
Send all entries to contest@desertbus.org with the subject line “DBVR Sticker Challenge” and include the name you’d like to be used if you are selected.

Today we started the day with the starting of a very…odd…dino cult?
But Dawn Guard quickly thwarted that and dispatched the dinosaur, NEVER TO RETURN TO THIS REALM!
We had lots of dance parties, Andrew WAS driving after all, and we played Family Feud.
Then Liz came for her shift, in all her glory!
And brought all the insanity that usually follows…
And a wonderful call-in from Jenn and Trin, who bestowed upon us their friendly wisdom.
So stick around for more fun, love, tears, and generic nonsense!
Do you love Overwatch? Do you need a way of keeping your pants up? Well we’ve got the thing for you!
Donate $6.12, or multiples thereof, before 2:15pm PST to win this amazing McCree belt buckle, for all your favourite Mother Friends!
We here at Desert Bus would like to take a moment to recognize one of our very generous food and drink sponsors, Truffles Catering. As most of your know, a lot of the Desert Bus crew are stuck here for many MANY hours during the run and, as as it turns out, we need food and drink to survive (who knew, right?). We couldn’t make it through this event without the generous support of sponsors willing to provide us with the sustenance and energy we need!
Now, it’s important to point out that while Truffles did not technically donate their product, but we’d still like to thank them for their impeccable service and quality of their food. Truffles has provided hot meals to the crew of Desert Bus for the past four years and every year it’s been a life saver. We absolutely could not conceivably put on an event this large with so many cast and crew members without feeding them proper, healthy meals and Truffles has done that job wonderfully.
From all of us here a Desert Bus, Thank you Truffles!

Should I ask my co-worker why she unfollowed me on Twitter? Jenn and Trin will advise you on the tricky stuff that’s making you feel weird. Thank you to everyone at Friendshipping for your generous sponsorship of Desert Bus 2017!!
