If you didn't know, our lovely wonderful amazing Ashton has a BIRTHDAY TODAY! So we celebrated him and his special day by having every giveaway be $6.11, because of 11/16...but like backwards. We also gave him a birthday Dilly Bar! Every hour! Because birthday!
We also had lots of fun with a rousing game of Coffee Pong between our Engineering team!
Jen v Sarah, FIGHT!
Of course, while the engineering team was distracted, Ashley managed to sneak her way in. Who let her in there?!
And then she got access to the copilot seat. And rejected all of your Caillou nonsense y'all tried to pull.
And. Listen....we were all a little loopy after the full year of holiday celebrations yesterday, ok?
So maybe we got a little weird today. Or a lot weird! But it's ok because we had DJ TurnLRR to help us put a pep in our step!
And we wouldn't be Dawn Guard if we didn't have a mumblecore singalong to AAAAAFFRICCAAAAA!
And now that we're all sung out I think it's time for us to get a nice little nap in. So we'll see you tomorrow morning bright and early!
This incredibly niche and in-joke filled clock is an absolutely amazing creation. Whether or not you want to know if it's time for crab, or if you just want to know the time and have a very weird piece of art in your home, donate $6.11 or multiples thereof by 11:50am PST!
Unearthed from a storage unit behind a haunted doll and the lost fifth season of BOAT is this clock that was once a CFU"T annual fundraiser donation prize, and it is now available as a Desert Bus for Hope annual fundraiser donation prize! How meta! Featuring state of the art vintage wood paneling and more fonts and clip art than you can shake a box full of floppy disks at, this clock tells you exactly what is on CFU"T at all times. So throw that TV Guide in the trash (recycling hasn't been invented yet) because this clock is all you need to know whether it's Time for Crab.
If you love Desert Bus for Hope and all the various shenanigans we've done over the years, then you of course know of our four shifts. And if you also play MtG, or maybe Pokémon, or even just want a fun place to keep trinkets, these boxes are a perfect and beautiful collection for just about anything! If you'd like to win these boxes, donate $6.11 or multiples thereof until 10:30am PST!
These boxes are made of ash and maple, with epoxy windows and brass hinges. They are quite strong - an early prototype survived being spiked onto a concrete floor with only cosmetic damage. A clear polyurethane sealant provides some amount of protection from minor spills, and the exterior of the boxes can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
We've got some more silent auctions that end soon, so if you were interested in either of these prize lots you better keep a close eye on the clock! Both will end at 10am PST!
First up, we have these four Screen Printed Nintendo Posters were hand-screened and depict the first four Nintendo television consoles. Each poster is limited to an edition of five. Prints are 3 color ink layers on 11"x14" Bristol vellum.
Next we have some adorable little Mushroom Sprites. These little creatures can often be found in shady spots under trees and are friendly fun guys. Mushroom Sprites are cuddly stuffies made from patterns designed by Megan Lapp of Crafty Intentions, and crocheted by Jennifer Waldburger.
For many years now Jared from Jagasilk has come in during Desert Bus for Hope to do an amazing tea making showcase with the incredibly high quality maccha his company has poured their hearts into perfecting. So we thank you so much for the work they've put in and all the good things they've done for us.
But this isn't the only nice thing they've done, and this next one is for you, THE VIEWER! If you want to buy from their online shop you can add in the code "DesertBus2023" at checkout to get 10% off your order!
JagaSilk was created (and is operated and owned) by Miyuki and Jared Nyberg. The adventure began in the summer of 2005, making deliveries from the public transit system.
Importing maccha began with a little knowledge and a kernel of an idea.
With the support of a wealth of local small business owners, managers, and employees, we were able to hone our niche to the specialty cafe, supermarket and restaurant environment. This is where quality, knowledge, and attention to detail in technique and the sharing of knowledge were and are most appreciated.
If you love Guild Wars 2 then you may want to get your donations in quick for this giveaway! The selection of items is enormous and it'd be incredibly hard to get your hands on this full collection. But you could possibly win this, all you need to do is donate $6.11 or multiples thereof by 8:30am PST!
From our friends at ArenaNet comes this exceptional collector's edition box which was originally available for the launch of Guild Wars 2. This nearly bottomless box contains a 10" statue of Rytlock, a collectible metal box with the map of Tyria on it, a custom art frame (to display any of the FIVE included art prints!), two CDs (Guild Wars 2 and the Best of Guild Wars 2 Soundtrack), a 112-page Making of Guild Wars 2 book, and a collection of digital in-game items including Rytlock, a golem banker, a chalice of glory, a tome of influence, and the summon mistfire wolf elite skill.
If that box doesn't seem bottomless enough, you will also receive three Guild Wars 2 Funko Pop! figurines of Aurene, Rytlock, and Palawa Joko. Each Funko Pop includes a code for a special Funko Pop! mini version for in-game use.
Also in this prize pack you will find a stunning statue of Aurene the Elder Dragon. This work of art is 100% vacuplated for a mesmerizing chromatic shine. It comes in two pieces so Aurene can be displayed with or without the base as you see fit. The box also includes a redemption card for an Aurene Logo cape for use in-game.
Can you believe that all of this was limited edition and no longer available for purchase? Seems like a deal to me!
If you can believe it, you'll also get a copy of The Complete Art of Guild Wars: ArenaNet 20th Anniversary Edition featuring beautiful, full-colour concept art and creator commentary exploring the development of the world of Tyria from Guild Wars 1 AND Guild Wars 2! Truly everything a Guild Wars fan could ever need.
These beautiful and diverse selection of eyeshadows are made with quality and care. They're worth every penny, and you can possibly win all four of these for only less than $10! All you need to do is donate $6.11 or multiples thereof until 7:16am PST! So get your donations in, and if you don't win you can always go buy your favorite colors from their site!
