So we wanted to encourage all of you whom say "I don't know how to draw!" with this art challenge. We love you all and we want you to feel included, so this art challenge is open ended to whatever interpretation you want over the concept of making a "Family Photo" for us! Whether that be drawing, clay, forks? Cups! Macaroni...clever word play? Whatever your creative little mind can think of, because even if you "can't draw" doesn't mean you can't be creative!


So if you'd like to win a DB2023 shirt (prize version is only available in Unisex sizes, sorry!) then email your submission to contest@desertbus.org with the subject line "Dawn Guard Family Photo"! And please, try to avoid using AI. We want your creativity, not a computer's!




Our second to last Zeta shift of the run is in the history books, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out! If you missed Zeta, or if you just wanted a reminder of what the heck happened, we have you covered!
For legal reasons, Zeta would definitely not camp out in an Ikea. Plausible deniability is a heck of a thing.
Chaos karaoke struck again, this time controlled by chat donations!
We got further in with Keep Talking and No one Bricksplodes! One day, we'll get to learn what we're building!
We played Only Connect, Desert Bus edition!
Just a bit more lego. As a treat.
And we rounded out the shift with disaster preparedness!
And that was Zeta! Just one more Zeta left, but you have a heck of a lot more bus to go! Keep your eyes on the screen, check out our socials, and keep circulating the tapes!

For the discerning adventurer or arch-villain, we have here this feisty young Owlbear. Perfect for your home, office, or volcanic doom fortress, this deceptively cute chick/cub can tear through an adventuring party in no time at all. It measures in at an impressive 10”x9”x12” (for now).
This Owlbear has been painstakingly needle-felted over a wire and foam base, with hand-sculpted beak and claws and taxidermy-quality glass eyes. It may not be cuddly (is any owlbear?), but it sure is soft and amazing!!
Donate $7.10 or positive multiple integers thereof from now until 5:40am PST for a chance to win!!

What's up it's ya busssss! That's right it's Nightwatch in the house!

We're the most fashion-forward shift for shhiiiiiirt. We've got CBC color, we've got BDSM (Buses Do So Much - what did you think it meant?), and we've got cool tattoos. Check us out.

We got beef, though, and not just the cake kind. VST you're on notice. Or maybe we're the ones who are on notice? Instructions unclear.

Whatever, we know we're godlike. Try not to swoon.

This is also the hottest spot for music. You know it, we know it, everybody knows it. And we're nice enough to share our music video recommendations. [Full Playlist Edition] Whenever it was somebody's turn to share their pick, they got to wear the cool cap. Did you hear that, mods? Turns out, caps ARE shortcuts for cool.

We even do live music if you're lucky enough to get a ticket to our concerts.

So yeah, we know we're cool. We're also kinda sleepy though and we get a little weird when we're sleepy. So Zeta, for Harry's sake, you can take it from here.

“Has Anyone Ever Made A Weapon That Wasn’t Used?"- Luthen Rael
Well, this wasn't used... But it is AWESOME. This blaster was fabricated by Jen Belgin AKA Darth Cleavage (https://darthcleavage.com)utilizing PLA+ that was then resin coated for smoothness and durability. The color palette and weathered paint scheme is based on screenshots from the show. The central cartridge chamber can be rotated by hand (the trigger is fixed in place). Original 3D model was by ArchiveandFuture.
Donate $7.63 or multiples there of from now until 1:15am PST for a chance to win!!

Here on Nightwatch, we build gundam, and so can you! The Real Grade RX-93-Hi Nu model, once assembled, features moveable joined and detailed armor panels that slide aside to expose the internal frame. But if you get impatient while you're building it, you can always take comfort in the pre-built and poseable Tallgeese II and Shining Gundam models that also come with this bundle.
Donate $7.81 (or multiples thereof) before 11:35pm PT for a chance to win the RG RX-93-Hi Nu Gundam Model and Figures!

Humble Bundle sells games, ebooks, software, and other digital content. Our mission is to support charity while providing awesome content to customers at great prices. We launched in 2010 with a single two-week Humble Indie Bundle, but we have humbly grown into a store full of games and bundles, a gaming membership service, a game publisher, and more.

We trust you to be responsible with these items, because if you're not, we're going to send Harry after you to take them back. You see, both of these items represent dangerous mechanical beings that could be unleashed to wreak great havoc in the wrong hands. But again, we trust you. Don't let us down! Remember that you're doing this for the children and go bid on these silent auctions in the name of peace.
Papier-Mâché Choo Choo Charles Trinket Box

Choo Choo Charles got tired of people asking him the bussing trolley question day after day. Kill one person you know or kill five strangers? Here's a better idea: kill all the people. Run them down and pierce them with your horrifying, sharp claws. If you also hate philosophical questions (and/or love the indie horror game Choo Choo Charles and its eponymous demon spider train), then you and Charles are meant for each other and you should place a bid while you still can.
Papier-Mâché Choo Choo Charles auction ends at 2am PT.
Evangelion Bead Crochet Bracelets

These bracelets (made with the tiniest and cutest crochet hook I have ever seen in my life) represent three of the iconic mechas from Neon Genesis Evangelion, but they are much less choosy and will allow anyone to wear them.
Evangelion Bead Crochet Bracelets auction ends at 2am PT.
