That’s all friends! Have a good day!

We here at Desert Bus would like to take a moment to recognize one of our very generous drink sponsors, JagaSilk. 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!

JagaSilk is a teabar, a wholesaler and a tea academy based out of Victoria, BC, Canada. They believe in beauty, balance and ethical business. This year they have generously donated an assortment of teas and kombucha to the Desert Bus crew. Yum!

From of us us here at Desert Bus for Hope, thank you, JagaSilk!

We have another donation drive this morning!

Here we have this absolutely STUNNING (and very glittery) hammer from Thor, the God of Thunder. So if you donate $6.21 or multiples thereof – $12.42, $18.63, $24.84, etc – until 7:45am PST.

Hey friend-os! Just a quick reminder that we have 3 silent auctions currently running! All three are half-way done with 4 hours left on the clock. All three are wonderful donations from our lovely crafters, the DnD Dragon Baby Set, Stained Glass Desert Bus Logo, and Gamer Girl Handbag. Go check them out!

 

 

 

Matt has issued an art challenge to the chat.His overnight shift is taking it out of him, so he has started thinking about what he will do once he gets to escape The Chair. So that’s what he wants to see. Please send over your art showing what is next in Matt’s day! Napping? Diving into a giant pool of golden retrievers? Keeping hold of the controller, and returning to a 24 hour shift? Probably not that last one, but you show us!

Please email all entries to contests@desertbus.org with the subject line #freewiggins contest, and submit your image as a JPG or PNG, either as an attachment or a link that we can easily access. Also please let us know what name we should use for you should we show your submission on-air. The winner of this challenge will win a Desert Bus 2018 t-shirt!

This contest will end at 9:00am PST, so make sure to get those entries in!
