We are so happy we’ve had all of you here with us this last week! One last silent auction is up, so I thought I may as well plug it again before it’s gone in 30 minutes!!
Our volunteers work incredibly hard during Desert Bus and in the weeks and months leading up to the run. They take time off work, absolutely trash their sleep schedules, and make fools of themselves on the internet, all for the children. So at the end of each run we host a party for them, to show them they are appreciated, to let them relax, and to spend time with their friends who were on opposite shifts. Even though we still cannot be together in one place we are still organizing a remote afterparty for everyone to relax and unwind.
This is where you come in. We need a sponsor for this afterparty. (We don’t NEED one, but go with me on this). The winner of this auction will be bestowed the title of Official Sponsor of the Desert Bus for Hope 2021 Afterparty. This title carries no duties, responsibilities, or privileges. You do get a snazzy certificate though! It’ll have your name and everything! And rest assured that all of your money still goes to Child’s Play. We cover all the costs of the afterparty.
James will also make a custom playlist for Zeta Shift, which will be sent to the Afterparty Sponsor and played during the afterparty. This is Erika’s contribution to the Kindness War.
Donate $5.55 or multiples thereof by 9am PST for a chance to win this huge lot of goodies!!

Good morning from the dawn of the last day! And us Dawn Guardians have been joined by the…Zeta…Zetas….Zets? Whatever they are called, they have joined us on HOMEGA! Aka Home-Omega. So for the next couple of hours we’ll be doing us couple of nerds from home, and then we will switch to the TRUE OMEGA at 10am PST for the in person nonsense to TRULY BEGIN!
So until then, we’re here to entertain you, do some last minute money raising, and whatever else we feel like in these CHAOTIC times!! Thanks for sticking around with us!
When is a pair of gloves not a pair of gloves? When they’re wrist warmers! No fingers, no fuss. The latest in post apocalyptic and fantasy chic. They can be worn on their own or over a thin pair of gloves for extra warmth.
These wrist warmers were made with Limited Edition “Omega” yarn, hand dyed by Schmutzerella Yarns in 2019 and sold in support of Desert Bus that year. They feature a cable pattern enclosing an omega symbol made from glittery felt. The design was adapted from my favourite wrist warmer pattern by Claire Compton and the original can be found in “The Knitter’s Bible: Knitted Accessories”.
They should be hand-washed to preserve the softness and colour of the yarn, and washed separately from other items to avoid dye transfer.
During the final Night Watch of 2021, we all – together, chat and crew and everyone who’s come along for any part of this wild ride – we ALL reached the amazing milestone of $8 MILLION raised over the lifetime of Desert Bus for Hope!
Special thanks to dostrow_ whose $20,000 winning bid on the pair of Mass Effect guns got our evening off to a high octane start, and heronblademaster who donated $4,626 to cross the final threshold to this incredible milestone.
Thanks to everyone’s combined efforts and support, we have achieved what some thought impossible. Yes, that’s right. The Q judged us ferior.
The crew of the USS Tucson very much enjoyed getting visits from special guests, like Ensign Matt from the runabout Duck Creek.
Admittedly, we got a little frightened when Matt threatened to arrest us for illegal weapons sales. Us? The crew of the USS Tucson? Why, we are perfect angels who would never engage in illegal weapons sales!
And we DEFINITELY wouldn’t do it again tomorrow.
…Moving on. We also got a power Serge via the Telepresence Robot. Serge was an expert at piloting the robot.
Plus, Ensign Ben FINALLY found his way back to the USS Tucson today, which meant that Ben and Serge were able to reunite!
All in all, a truly heartwarming night! We were in such a good mood that we didn’t even blow up Zeta today. After a full week of destructive loops, we realized that together, we could make this the best timeline!
If you want to commemorate the antics of the USS Tucson and its crew, you can buy the USS Tucson playmat or poster! Proceeds go to Child’s Play.
