Here on Night Watch, we are absolutely committed to raising money for the children and absolutely careless about our handling of the bus. For the second night in a row, we took the wheel only to drive it top speed off the road. But that won't stop us from getting up to antics as long as it raises money for the children!
Speaking of which, we've just passed a road sign that says we're nearing that $11 million lifetime total. Will this be the shift where we hit that goal? Perhaps we can interest you in these fine prizes to help us all get there together!

Desert Bus for Hope would like to thank sponsor Bateman Labs for their prize donation of their Envy Gaming Chair and accompanying accessories. Bateman Labs was founded by brothers Sawyer and Andrew who set out to build a desk designed for computers. Their first product, a lap desk for the Ikea POÄNG chair was a hit, which inspired them to create the Envy Armchair and its many accessories. Thank you Bateman Labs for the best seat in the house.
LIVE AUCTION BEGINS AT 2:00 PM PST.
Our live auction starts at 2:00 PM PST. Be sure you have a donor account and are in chat to bid.
Today we had the item of....checks notes A box of syringes??? NO SHARPS!
We did our best trying to think of uses, and honestly it was doing ok at some things, bad at many others.
So we give these syringes a solid TUB. See you tomorrow for our next product review!!
Day 2 and we are moving onward with even more prizes! If you haven't had a chance to check it out, let's go over the current Silent Auctions!
First up we have this stunning Dragonscale Belt! This subtly iridescent maille belt is woven in the Dragonscale weave (which consists of two interwoven layers of European 4-in-1, the weave seen in most non-Japanese maille armour... but I digress), from titanium accented with anodized titanium and niobium in greens, blues and purples, in an attempt to capture the look of fish- (or perhaps dragon?) scales.
Next is this beautifully detailed Tears of the Kingdom Dragon Jacket. This Men's XL black denim jacket is hand painted with the four dragons found in Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The right sleeve is bleach painted to match the design found on Link's arm. Mixed media was used including acrylic paint, POSCA markers, and sharpie, while utilizing negative space to form some shapes. A limited palette and light crosshatch shading was used to give life to the dragons. This jacket can elevated any outfit into hero of time-chic and is a perfect top layer to any hoodie. Hyuuuah into Hyrule with this one of a kind piece!
Both of these end at 10am PST today! So if you're wanting to win one, go set up your top bid amount and keep an eye out. Also remember, the silent auctions function a little differently this year!
After those end, we won't be done just yet! Starting at 10am PST, these next two will start up for bidding and they will end at 6pm PST!
First is this Faux Stained Glass Princess Peach patch! It was originally designed to be sewn onto the back panel of a jean jacket for a showstopping patch. If rocking patches isn’t your vibe, then don’t fret, slap this art into a frame and place on your wall to fool everyone into thinking you’ve just installed a new stained glass window. Sure, it isn’t see-through, but you definitely can gaze upon it and enjoy the view.
The line work is done with matte black size 8 seed beads, while size 10 silver lined seed beads are used to create the appearance of stained glass.
The other one starting at 10am PST is a Live, Laugh, Love cross-stitch, all in Wingdings! Featuring the classic Microsoft font, this cross stitch is made from cotton aida cloth and cotton embroidery thread, and is professionally framed. Glass is not included to best show off the texture of the cross stitch. Dust to clean, or check out your local frame store if glass is desired!
So go to the Silent Auctions section of Prizes and check these out before they're gone!
