The cah-caws are no more! This year, Alpha Flight is throwing things back to those long forgotten days where you actually had to drive to a store to find movies to watch. Ahh… the VHS had so many features… you could play… pause… uhh… it remembered where you stopped playing…?

Thankfully, here in 2019, it’s a lot easier to watch the latest video highlights on this thing they call The Internet. Here’s what you’ve missed during the first Alpha Flight shift of Desert Bus for Hope 2019.


Check out the radical new Alpha Flight intro video! (We’re number one! Alphabetically!)

New Alpha Flight team member Jacob needs a primer on how to drive the bus.

We found Creepy Doll. Creepy Doll is in the building.

We read a few cards from RoboRosewater.

We Caramelldansen our way to $100,000! (Thank you!)

And finally, a message from the Snorsh Tourism board.
