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!

You will be filled with creative ideas at the selection of colors inspired by the adventures of our fantasies.

Nothing beats that satisfying feeling when a tetromino falls into place... and nothing feels worse than getting squiggly after squiggly when all you need is a line piece! Ahem. The powerful feelings it evokes just go to show how close Tetris is to our hearts. And it could also be close to your hearth if you bring it home and put it there! As a bonus, it glows under a blacklight which is honestly just rad as heck.

We really learned a lot about each other tonight. Maybe too much about Andrew specifically?
A touching moment: Ben opened up about his struggles in Engineering, especially the problem of getting literally anyone to speak directly into the mic. Maybe he's just Ben, but he is also... Benough.
It's a good thing our Engineering department is so stable and supportive of each other, you know? Otherwise, you could imagine how easy it would be for one of them to snap and do horrible things to punish the entertainers.
Totally unrelated: the mysterious Jigpaw reappeared tonight! Whoever's behind that mask is incredibly cruel. Cruel enough to force people to eat delicious sushi in a gripping game of Wasabi Roulette! Which sushi has been "fatally" overloaded with wasabi? Only one way to find out...
Another knight was inducted into the service of driving the bus, as Garrett not only drove for the first time but also scored a point.
One of the under-rated wonders of the Desert Bus is that over the course of this long and challenging week, you watch people change and grow. Like Jordan, who started the night as a little baby and ended as an increasingly aggravated parent.
All right, that's enough from us. Zeta, take it away! Seriously: take it away before we hurt ourselves (⚠️ LOUD).
