Check out the latest installment of Penn Jilette’s “Penn Says” vlog to watch him pitch Desert Bus hardcore. As one of Desert Bus’s co-creators, he knows full well the fury of the desert, and we truly appreciate his support.

Onwards towards $60 000!

When we talked to Tycho a couple days ago, he said that $50 000 would make a good goal . . . but now that we’ve left that far behind, $55 000 is in sight. Can we reach that astounding goal? Can we press on towards 60? Will our bus ride go beyond tomorrow?

Only you can decide - FOR THE CHILDREN!

We’re soooo close to $50,000! Let’s get the rest of the way there, and seal Morgan’s body hair’s doom!

(Yes, I play a chick.  Whatever)

Afro J!  This is for you!

Just… wow.

Clearly, you are actually trying to kill us at this point? You are trapping us in a prison made entirely of generosity. How… wonderful.

Holy moly people, you are so wonderful it defies words. We’re so excited, happy and blown away by everything you’ve donated.

Thank you!

Holy smokes. You people and your giving. Keep up the good work and hell, maybe we could hit that 30,000 mark.

Addendum: With Penny Arcade’s help, now we’re well on our way.

While I realize it was a long weekend for those of you in the states, I’d hazard to say it was even longer for our drivers. Our ongoing torment will see reprieve today, however, when we receive a call from the beautiful and  talented Felicia Day of The Guild, Buffy and Dr. Horrible. If you have questions you’d like us to ask Felicia, please post them here. We don’t promise to read all of them (see our previous Wil Wheaton call-in for reference), but we’ll certainly choose a few :).
