Welcome to day 5 of Alpha Flight. We've got a full shift for you today so let's get down to business.
At 1:00 PM we have a pre-recorded garages concert for you all to enjoy.
Right after that we have another live auction today.
That starts at 2:00 PM PST. So stay tuned
We also have some fun giveaways today
And we'll be running an art challenge today as well. Stay tuned for details.
James also owes us a High Tea so that will be happening at 3:00 PM.
And we'll finish up with Beer O'Clock.
Strap in for a wild ride.
We here hope you've enjoyed our Dawn Guard tube reports, because we've got another one for you!
James has provided his own personal....back tube! Which honestly we all kind of need after so many days of Desert Bus. So of course, we had to start out with using it in the "proper manner" (so boring, yet so satisfying!)
Of course, we couldn't just keep it to that. We are way too tired for that! So we had some green screen fun thanks to the hands of Ben Ulmer and a little Top Gun magic ✨
DO A BARREL ROLL!
We also decided his name is Gozoné (said like go-zone-eh, like an Italian stereotype!)
Listen, we're...some amount of days in (we don't do math here on Dawn Guard) and we may be losing it just a little. But! We can't help but love every one of our tube children.
Gozoné has contributed quite a bit to our day and back health, so we can't help but give him a rating of BAR!
So thanks for hanging with us today, and we look forward to seeing you again tomorrow!
We have even more silent auctions to show off to you today, so let's get into it! These first two will be ending today at 10am PST!
First is a handmade set of Shift Regalia Jewelry. Don your colors with this wearable Shift Regalia! With a full set for every shift you'll never lack for options, no matter the occasion or outfit. Featuring 4 necklaces, 4 pairs of earrings, 2 bracelets, 2 anklets, and an eyeglasses chain - this lot is a veritable hoard of real gemstones, pearls, and antique glass.
The other one ending soon is this Stardew Valley House Tissue Box Cover. Hand-made from XPS foam, real wood, and recycled plastic, this artisan good is lovingly painted to match the original pixel art as closely as possible. With fine attention to detail, it is sure to meet your every need. From tissue dispensing, to looking great on a shelf, this house has got it all.
Next up after those two, starting at 10am PST, we have two more for you to check out!
This Polyhedral Dice Embroidery Gallery Set is quite a large selection of goodies! This is a polyhedral set of 10 embroidered die, ready to display, in a range of sizes, from 6” to 12”! Although you can’t roll them, these art pieces are perfect for a gallery wall in a gaming room, or any space that needs a bit more nerdiness. Each die is sewn onto different weights of cotton and linen with DMC embroidery threads.
And now, Time for Crab! This Instant Crab Rave has so many crabs I need two pictures!! Each crab is lovingly handmade from 100% super soft acrylic yarn and stuffed with polyester fibre fill, so are (gentle) machine washable in case they party a little too hard. The galvanized steel bucket comes equipped with a handle for easy transportation to any rave location.
So if you want these make sure you go set up your account and keep an eye on the numbers!
We wanted to give a big thank you to Mini Museum for their contribution with a wonderful bundle of goodies for us to give away!
Mini Museum began as a childhood dream to create and share a collection of all the wonders the world has to offer, a little piece of the entire known universe you could hold in your hand. Over the course of decades, the collection grew to encompass treasures from across all space and time. Like the universe itself, every object in every collection is connected to each other. Their stories intertwine, sometimes in fantastical ways. By sharing these objects with other people, we also create opportunities for people to connect with each other as they too share the stories.
We asked you what Deirdre does on her day off, and you answered! Turns out. she's had WAY more adventures that we ever expected.
After careful deliberation, we finally narrowed down our honorable mentions and winner! First, our honorable mentions:
And now... Our winner!!!
