So we had some auctions. They blew our minds. We’re still recovering – in quick order we earned our 10th point, broke 60k, and found out what an Octopimp was…
A turn of phrase Kathleen came up with spawned some hilarious and disturbing art… Remember kids, cruelty to animals just doesn’t float our boat!
Well, we’ve had a very eventful night – we broke our all time record donation with an amazing $1375 donation by this dude named Octopimp, who is apparently Chuck Norris, the Easter Bunny and Damon Albarn (what? I think Blur is super keen!) all in one – he bid on a fantastic super rare, ultra limited edition Star Wars print by Ken Stacey (FYI the original was purchased by George Lucas!). We also sold an incredible original commission of Okami artwork (for the bargin price of $500), and two signed comic books. Ken is made of win.
Anyhow, we got a bunch of amazing graphics, wrote haikus to honour Octopimp (who’s actually too cool for us), and received an incredible remix of Graham’s rendition of “Re: Your brains” as done as Billy Mays (RIP).

And like a shot we’re up to $56 000. The bus is the Flash. Officially.
Thanks to a couple of AMAZING auctions, we have just bypassed $54 000 to hit $55 000. Wow. I am speechless.
We had just barely hit 52 000, and now I’m making another post! Wow! Keep on rolling for the children!
If we had gathered a thousand dollars per week since the last Desert Bus, we would currently be at $52 000. As-is, we have been going for just over three days and have done it anyway. GG, everyone!
51 grand is what happens when 50K has a very small baby money … and the Desert Bus has now collected that.
Holy cow, you guys! We are halfway to $100 000 … amazing? Can we do it!? Can we send Matt to see Twilight like six times in one day?
I think we can!
