Kate and Bear are Best Friends
They go on Adventures!
Bear and Kate are Best Friends
They are Friends Forever!
Cursing down the highway
Sipping on French Lattés,
They are Friends Forever -
Have we mentioned that yet?
One likes honey sandwiches -
Not the one that you'd think!
[MUSICAL INTERLUDE!]
Song over.
All week, we have been enjoying the company of our good friends Bear and Kate. They're best friends! They go on adventures! We know that much, but what do their adventures look like? And just what do they put on those honey sandwiches? Perhaps you can help us fill in those blanks by making a comic strip and sending it to us for a chance to win a grab bag of Desert Bus merch.
Send your entries to contest@desertbus.org with the subject line "Bear and Kate Adventure" before 10:30am PT for a chance to win!

Zeta has gone dark for the evening, and we went fully dark all shift!
We had to get some of our friends in the gothy vibes, to kick off our shift!
We needed some quality dark, spooky, and moody karaoke. So here's this!
We contacted the spirits... Through a board game from Value Village.
And as everyone knows, goths need stretch breaks.
It's time for us to slowly shamble towards bead, but keep the stream on, and have fun with Dawn Guard! I'm sure it won't be tonal whiplash!
Legacy Books Press explores the corners of history that are lesser known or misunderstood, publishing everything from ancient history to the modern history of, let's say, video games! They've been a sponsor of Desert Bus for Hope since 2016 and we love having them. This year, they have donated a wonderful book prize lot to fill your shelves and your brain! Thank you Legacy Books Press for your support!
Thank you for hanging out with us for another night! Let's look back on what we've done.
We disparaged meat!
We Beyed our last Blades!
We had a sumptuous sushi feast!
Then we immediately ate ice cream on stomachs full of fish!
Ian made a butt!
And, best of all, WE MADE IT TO $700,000!!!
This was truly one to write home about. Thank you for joining us! We'll see you tomorrow!
The last time I made one of these posts, the number was much smaller. Seven HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS?! Y'all are fundraising rock stars.
Thank you all from the bottoms of our happy dancing feet! You're contributing to so much good in the world.
We've given away a lot of big prizes. How about a lot of small prizes?
This bounty of delights palaeontological and archaeological comes to us from a big name in small things: the Mini Museum!
The fine folks at the Mini Museum have been spreading their love of science and history for over a decade. As cliché as it sounds, if you're ever looking to buy a gift for the person who has everything, Mini Museum really has you covered. Trust us. (They have fragments of Princess Diana's wedding cake, for Bus's sake!)
We're super thankful to the Mini Museum for donating this prize pack, and we're super jelly of whoever among our viewership is lucky enough to win it. Thank you, Mini Museum!
That's right, folks: we've come to the thrilling climax of the Night Watch Beyblade Rip-Off International.
Tonight's challengers:
- Brett (Wizard Todd)
- Andrew (Stag Antler)
- Jordanynne (Sting Unicorn | Sterling Wolf // "Losing Dogs")
Let 'er rip!
A substantial portion of the funds we raise comes from the delicious and nutritious prizes we give away and auction off, including tonight's extremely spicy Final Fantasy Secret Lairs collection!
We'd like to extend our appreciation to Joseph Overbey and Amy Gregory, who generously donated this collection to us so that we could give it away for money to help kids. Thank you!
Here at Desert Bus for Hope, we really like to put the fine in fine art. That's why we're honoured to have this gorgeous portrait in pastels by artist Nickie V as our next silent auction lot.
If you wish to admire the graceful elegance of Sim idol Bella Goth without even having to turn on your computer, come on over and bid on her! This auction will be open between 6 pm and 12 am PST.
Like last year, we'll be using the Vickrey Auction system to run all of our silent auctions; check out our information post from last year to learn how that works.
