Here is what we have for your bidding pleasure this evening.
Ramona Flowers bag – olive w/ blue star
This incredibly awesome too-cool-for-words bag has a large pocket inside for a netbook or Kindle, and smaller pockets for a phone, laptop mouse, DS, pens, laminated list of your evil exes, etc.? Stars on both sides.? Giant hammer not included.
A note from the crafter: “I’ve been sewing for many years, but this is the first handbag pattern I’ve ever created.? I made these after I read the first few Scott Pilgrim books, and knew that just carrying one around would make me feel like a badass.? (I was right.)”
Eric Pato – Desert Bus Poster
This is a Desert Bus 3 memorial poster, a monument to the events and happy/exciting/surreal moments of last year’s run. Depicted or represented in the poster are Rosco, Paul, Graham, Tim, Matt, Bill, Morgan, Tally, Alex, Kathleen, James, Ken Steacy, Yahtzee, Tycho, Gabe, The Moon Base, Octopimp, Buses and, hidden in one of the two versions, Woody Tondorf fighting a group of school children.
Eric Pato is a lifelong doodler, writer and general creative type, currently enrolled in USC’s Grad Animation program. In total, the two versions of this poster took him 11 months of work (on and off), and approximately 300 hours. That’s ART, people!
This is the Indiana Jones colours version of the poster.
Creepy Doll #31 with holiday accessories
The Creepy Doll is back! Here is the 31st and final Creepy Doll from our very limited run. He’s based on Kathleen De Vere’s webcomic character the Littlest Reaper, who runs around maiming all the other holidays personified and stealing their stuff. Hence, this Creepy Doll comes with all the festive paraphernalia he’s stolen from the other holidays. The winner of this item will receive:
– the 31st Creepy Doll (numbered on the bottom)
– his scythe
– a Valentine’s Day box of chocolates*
– a St. Patrick’s Day 4-leaf clover
– a Thanksgiving drumstick*
– a Christmas Santa hat
– a Halloween pumpkin
[*These are fake food items, made from polymer clay and not meant for actual consumption.]
The set also comes with a Creepy Doll coffee cup sleeve, so the Creepy Doll can watch as you drink your morning coffee or tea. Do you really need that much honey?
This doll is slightly different from the other Creepy Dolls, in that his hands have velcro attached, allowing him to hold onto his scythe and various trophies. He is made from felt and polyester suede and is stuffed with polyfil. He also differs in that his insides are partially stuffed with navy beans, giving him a bit more weight for balance. It’d be pretty embarrassing for the Littlest Reaper to be toppled by his own scythe.
About the crafter: Tally Heilke (an organizer for Desert Bus and contributor to LoadingReadyRun) writes a weekly crafting blog, where you can learn to make all kinds of cool stuff. She won’t tell you how to make your own Creepy Doll, but she might tell you how to make some other sweet plushies in upcoming weeks…

Stay tuned for possible appearances by any number of characters, and the auction of a variety of premium Yu-Gi-Oh cards, with sleeves signed by Kroze and Little Kuriboh himself!

They’ll be on hand to answer your questions, and embark on your adventures for a small fee (or a large fee). So please prepare your questions and your quests, and log them in the comments below – the most worthy among you will assuredly be heard!Need I say more!? I need hardly remind any of you that this is ten times our original estimare for Desert Bus for Hope, and is approaching ludicrous amounts of money. Thanks so much to everyone who’s helped push the bus this far! It’s gone!
Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox Live, Stephen ‘Stepto’ Tolouse is a man of many talents. He’s a Twitter personality, a w00tstock entertainer, and the Xbox Live equivalent of our very own Kroze! Weilding the banhammer from atop his mighty throne, Stepto keeps the intertubes safe for children of all ages. Few have the constitution to face down as many online terrors as this man. Common terms found in his dayto day employment include “egregious sexual harassment”, “dick quotient”, “inaropriate personal exposure”, and the dreaded “helicopter”.
Sponsor Showcase : Bethesda Softworks
So, on Monday it was super cold and miserable. An ‘epic’ blizzard had descended on Victoria. (Keep in mind that an epic blizzard by our standards is 2 inches of snow. We’re wimpy, and our city doesn’t have any plows or sanding equipment…). However, the cockles of our hearts were warmed, even though our toes were numb. Bethesda’s long awaited delivery finally arrived! Two boxes of Fallout: New Vegas goodies – games, hardcover collectors edition game guides AND the coveted NCR flag t-shirts (the ones that disappeared in about an hour at PAX prime) for us to give away and auction off for the children! Check out our live auction pages if you want a chance to get great Fallout: New Vegas goodies in exchange for a donation to Child’s play!
Thank you so much to Bethesda! We’re all drooling over the Fallout: New Vegas swag, and so are our viewers! Please visit Bethesda online at http://www.bethsoft.com/eng/index.php
It’s a good thing you guys keep making those milestone pictures, because we keep needing them. I thought maybe I could come in, sit down and enjoy my coffee but nope, gotta go blog 😛
Here is what I have to offer for this time around. And remember I do continue to add to these posts, so if you get a 90,000+ milestone picture in fairly soon (ie, not to far past the 100,000 mark) then I’ll make sure to add it.
