Hold onto your belts folks, we’re doubling up on Donation Drives. That’s right, we’re running concurrent drives, this is the best time to make the most of your donations.

This innocuous-looking wooden box doesn’t seem like all that much, but what comes inside is packed with Desert Bus fun. The Cards Against Desert Bus Box contains a set of 562 unique cards were hand selected from over 1600 submissions, and while chock full of Desert Bus in-jokes, the cards scan remarkably well with your standard Cards Against Humanity sets.

We will be running this drive until the end of Kara’s shift 6:00 PM PST and any donations of $11.24 or multiples thereof will gain you an entry for this box of fun.

Aaron Forsythe will be calling into Desert Bus at 6:30pm PST on Thursday, November 19th.

We have another Art Challenge headed your way and I am excited to see where this one leads. We’ve had a running theme of asking our call-in guests who their “Nemesis” would be if they were a super-villain.

In the vein of that question, Kara would like you to draw (in whatever medium/style/means) a Super-Villain being at Desert Bus.  You have until the end of Kara’s shift at 6:00 PM PST. The winner will receive a set of Funko Pop Guardians of the Galaxy dolls.

Please send your entries to contest@desertbus.org with the subject line containing “Villain”. Please include the public name you’d like us to use if you are selected.

May I present, our Limerick Winner

You want in the charity biz,
But aren’t a bus driving wiz?
Just call on your luck,
And grab a loud duck;
Can’t possibly crash more than Liz.

Our winner is Semysane!

We had a lot of wonderful entries into the limerick challenge, thanks to everyone who submitted!
