So you all know that this Desert Bus awesomeness is for the children, via the awesome charity Child’s Play, a Seattle-based organization that provides toys and games to children’s hospitals worldwide. Tomorrow afternoon (Saturday, Nov. 21) we’re going to be graced with the in-person presence of Child’s Play’s very own Kristin Lindsay! Not only is she the head of this great charity, she’s also an awesome person generally. And she’s traveling to Victoria to guest drive the bus! Tune in to chat with Kristin.

If you have questions for Kristin, please post them as comments here.

After a marathon eight-hour driving shift, James has earned our first point: the first time anyone in DB history has done so by himself!

We’re on our way, folks!
