We're here again and looking at our current silent auctions, and the ones in the near future. These first two are running RIGHT NOW and end at 10am PST today!

First is this adorable little crocheted Banana Cori! This 30cm long plush of Coriander Dickinson, as seen in several classic Crapshots, is made with 100% polyester jumbo yarn, and stuffed with polyester fiberfill stuffing. Limbs, face, and hair are made from acrylic yarn. Facial features are felted on with acrylic.

Next is this incredible Kirby Super Star Ultra Sprite Stitch! Do you love Kirby? Do you want a LOT of Kirby? Well, now you can have over sixty-thousand stitches worth of Kirby and his friends, enemies, and meals!
Measuring at a width of 18.25 inches and a height of 11.50 inches, you'll have 52 different sprites of poyo-tastic delight to brighten up a room and bring a smile to your face.

And again, these end at 10am PST, so go get at these quick!

After those end, we've got two new ones that will start at 10am PST and end at 6pm PST!

First is a Custom Made Clone Wars-Style "Sister" Action Figure. Made from authentic Hasbro components and custom resin retoolings, this Clone Wars styled unofficial "Sister" action figure is detailed with various acrylics, including Citadel paints and Louise Sugden's Monument hobbies paint range. Introduced in Queen's Hope by E. K. Johnston, Sister has been quickly becoming a fan favourite.

And the last one we're showcasing is this amazing and playable The Harp Road! Lap Harps are considered to be an easy to learn instrument that are perfect for any skill level. This lap harp has been designed to resembled the iconic desert road. Made with blackened walnut, paduk, white oak, and beautiful curly maple this lap harp is both functional and beautiful.

So go check out the silent auctions, set up your biddings, and cross your fingers! And thank you for all your contributions to our run.

Being on Zeta can be tough. Nothing is open, and you're left to scrounge the fridge for whatever might be left. Who amongst us hasn't just mainlined some yellow mustard and hoped for the best? Well, tonight, we rely on the kindness of our friends, and the generosity of our chat. Thanks you all donating a full Desert Buck before the start of the run, Famous Youtuber James Turner has to feed all of the shifts, including us! Of course, we still have to deal with nothing being open, but he has promised a veritable feast from 7/11! Tune in to see the bounty!

We came home from camp, and returned to the couches and our comfy Jock Jams. We hold it always in our hearts, but tonight, it's back to serious business!

We have a lot planned tonight, including a special guest bringing snacks and provisions (stay tuned at 3am PST!), but let's go over those spicy giveaways!

Keep your eyes on the stream for all of the wackiness, and general shenaniganery!

This Night Watch shift draws to an end, but we have learned so much today. Of course, there were big moments (like the Wet Ones Interview with Dan Olson and the Beyblade Tournament) but let's take a moment to cherish the small, weird moments that make Night Watch special.

To do that, we must establish First Principles. What is Night Watch?

How much shade can we throw at other shifts for driving the bus badly...

...and present ourselves as experts...

...well enough to help newcomer Dan Olson score a bus stop...

...only for Ian to drive straight off the road in the name of caltrops.

We brushed up on our history knowledge and learned about Belopa! Not only its origins with Desert Bus, but also, where is it now?

Ian showcased his musical talents and made the classic "you're on hold" music even better.

And Rachel was a Midwestern, underwater horse. You had to be there (or watch the VOD, I guess.)

And at last, on Day 4 of Desert Bus, we finally Tikked some Toks.

See you tomorrow for more "late night talk show with a weird twist" vibes!

At blades frenetic, I'm so pathetic
But I always rip it my best
Instead of taking time off for rest
'Cause I'm on a Beyblade quest!
I hate parading my subpar blading,
As I'm terrified I'll get burst,
But hey, this tourney is quite a journey,
And there's always a chance
I'll come in first!

It's my top!
At Matt-Cat-Enthusiast-Wiggins-Memorial Stadium!
It's my top!
Slicing into my thumb!
It's a false start and reset and we're off –
Dang I'm down in the Litterbox.
But I could still come back,
So I go on the attack,
With my sights on the top of the brack(et)!

Bracket Standings

Beys of the Day:

1. Jordan v Brett in the Matt "Cat Enthusiast" Memorial Stadium
2. Matt v Julie in the Matt "Cat Enthusiast" Memorial Stadium
3. Graham v Ian in The Litterbox

It's that time again! Time to torment our friends for fun and (charitable) profit!

Dan Olson (of Folding Ideas) was kind enough to volunteer his time as a guest of Desert Bus. In order to deter him from ever making that kind-hearted mistake ever again (or perhaps just test his mettle to make sure that if he does it again, he knows what he's in for...) we are dragging Dan to the Moist Zone.

Watch Dan experience the Pea Wet and other Choice Wets while regaling us with the sordid history of the Taco Bell Wedding in Decentraland and Other Stories:

If you want to take this bag home and lick it (or perhaps just treat it nicely and not be weird about it), then you better log onto Twitch RIGHT NOW! UPDATE: The bag sold to Nycthemeron, who overcame technical difficulties to take it home for $4,250. Congratulations!

Starting 7pm PT sharp, we are going to host a Live Auction for this beautiful bag. To participate, you will need:

1. A Donor Account on desertbus.org
   1. Make sure you enter your address so we can ship you this thing!
2. A Twitch account tuned to twitch.tv/desertbus
3. Link your Donor Account to your Twitch Account
4. ???
5. Reverse Profit! AKA donate responsibly by typing in Twitch chat 💖

That's it! Now you're ready to participate in (or just watch along and scream with excitement at) A LIIIIIIVE (auction)!

Catch the VOD with its twists, turns, and (proxy) bidding war:
