For point-of-reference, if you are bidding on an elevator poster, here are your options.

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!

We’ve given away two copies of the Girl’s Guide to Dating a Geek to people watching Desert Bus for being awesome!

Our first winner Kevin Raymond wrote the following haiku:

Why am I a geek?
Oh God, the virginity.
Please give dinosaur.

Then I challenged the everyone to draw a desert bus running over Edward Cullen (a symbol of #desertbus overtaking #new moon as a twitter trending topic) – and Tyler Samson won with this incredible (and rushed drawing!)

Edward Under Bus

Congrats, you cruel, cruel people. Thanks to your generosity, our own James Turner now has to play Desert Bus for 12 hours. This is more Desert Bus than I think anyone has ever played before in one sitting (possibly a lie?), and certainly enough to kill a man. You should all be proud.

A big part of what makes Desert Bus so fun is that we get to give away and auction off some amazing things. This year we’ve had an amazing amount of help from some corporate sponsors to make sure we have even bigger and better prizes.

We would like to say a big thank you to Hothead Games, Oni Press, Penny Arcade, The Escapist, Antec, Harmonix and Twisted Pixel Games. Please check out our sponsors page for more information!
