We are excited to welcome D. I. Jolly as a new prize sponsor for Desert Bus 10.
D.I. Jolly is an author, storyteller, & seasoned traveller who infuses all his experiences from life twisting them into stunning tales filled with offbeat wit, quirky characters and enthralling plots.
When he was six years old he made two serious decisions, the first was to go to New Orleans, (which he has now done), and the second was to be a writer.
He currently lives in Berlin.
Thank you, D. I. Jolly, for joining us as a sponsor for Desert Bus for Hope 10.
Throughout so much of science fiction, one fact that rings true is humanity’s ability to endure through the ages, regardless of the challenges they face. In this creative challenge, Cam’s looking to the future and needs your help picturing what that looks like.
We want your best representation of a hopeful future for humanity. “A humanity surviving on geological timescales.” Sort of science-fiction-y, but feel free to use your best interpretation of the theme! For this challenge, we’re open to whichever artistic form you’d like to submit, be it visual art, prose, or some other creative medium.
Send your submissions to contest@desertbus.org, with the subject line “Humanity’s Future.” Please be sure to include the screen name you’d like us to use on air should your submission win, and review the file formats below that we can accept. Up for grabs is this set of Conspiracy Magic: the Gathering cards!
We’ll run this creative challenge until the end of Cam’s shift at 10am PST.
~~~~~~
Update: In order to help us out and ensure we can include your submissions on the blog, please use the following file formats to submit your entries….
Visual Art: PNG, JPG
Poetry/Prose: TXT, Markdown, or included in the text of your email

Her first memory of Desert Bus:
Cameron stepped into the room. He saw his friends being chased by an event, staying one step ahead of it with creativity, sincerity, and abandon. This, he thought, is the thing I never knew I needed.

Ho boy was there a lot going on this shift. Between Live Auctions, Call-Ins and Giveaways the action never slowed down!
We started off with the live auction for the First signed copy of the Desert Bus 9 Photobook done by our very own Andrew Ferguson. Don’t fret though, we still have a Giveaway for this book up for grabs later in the run!
We restarted the Bus King Pageant for this year, and our winner spun into action to take the crown from Matt.
Matt used his art challenge in order to get the audience vision of a cover of Marvel’s Civil War….for Desert Bus! Our winner absolutely CRUSHED it.
Tally took bold new steps in her art challenge, using some drawings of the crew that she made, viewers had to make an animation! The difference is that we ALSO had a children’s competition using the same drawings to make a puppet show! Here’s a link to the relevant blog posts for the winners!
Jimmy Wong called in and it was such a great call! Answering some questions from the viewers Jimmy regaled us with his tales of being beaten at the Pre-Pre-Releases by Loading Ready Run.
He also gave us a lickability test on the new Commander 2016 set of Magic: The Gathering.
Tally debuted an A.B.C.’s of Desert Bus children’s book by reading it to the assembled crew of Desert Bus. The hardcover versions are ONLY available through Desert Bus prizes, but you can get your own softcover version right here!
