  2. Wow! Congrats!

    If only my dollars had been worth more.

    So if you more than trippled last year’s, does that mean that next year’s goal is $210,000?

  7. Well done LRR. I guess to keep with tradition next year you’ll triple this years amount.

  8. I agree with the other comments. Only a little over $210k to aim for next year. In two years it’ll be renamed the Desert Bus Child’s Play Charity!

    Congrats again and have a great time at the fundraiser dinner! Time to do some networking. ;-)

  11. Wow, Congradulations guys on a job well done. 70k is just wow, I can’t imagine what you guys feel like now. Truely amazing.

    How many of you watch Pen’s video blog? Of that how many of you caught what he said near the end? (paraphrasing) “Orginially in your desert bus manual we were going to have a contest, for the people with the most points. Take them on a Desert bus ride from Tusong AZ, to Las Vagas *laughs*. Who knows, mabey in a few years time if this keeps growing we’ll have a contest for the people who donate the most. Take them on that desert bus ride to Las Vagas to see our show” (My mouth hit my keyboard when he said that).

    Another thing to remember, Not much media poblicity this year, What if there was? What if Operation Infinate bus wasn’t ‘Just’ 10,000. I believe I remember hearing that mostly this years DBFH was slapped together fairly quickly do to plans changing. What if everything went according to plan, is 70K really that high? Or was it only the tip of what could have been.

    While you drift right in your sleep LRR, Just wait till next year, you can be sure everyone else is.

    Again, Congrats guys. Truely an amazing event you have created.
