This auction is currently going for just over $250, but you’ve got lots of time to get that up there!

Made entirely from plastic canvas and yarn, it’s the little details that put it over the top:
-real plastic windows
-“Desert Bus” destination sign
-Loading Ready Run logo on the roof
-Desert Bus for Hope logo on the back
-and, of course, a tree air freshener hanging in the front windshield
This is going for over $1000 already!
And last we have another yarny wonder, a Dr. Mario Cross-Stitch.
A painstakingly detailed replica of the front cover of Dr. Mario’s first big portable adventure on the Game Boy.
This lot is going for just over $500.

MovieBob will be calling into Desert Bus at 6pm 7:15pm PST on Sunday, November 16th.
Writer, film reviewer and host of Escape to the Movies, The Big Picture, and MovieBob: Intermission on The Escapist. He has a love for early 80’s and 90’s video games and ripping apart bad movies. A focus of his is to give analysis of gaming culture and the industry in a style that is similar to a college-lit-class style know as “close reading”, also using overlaid imagery to support his points.
Along with his work on the Escapist, Bob also hosts The Adventures of Game OverThinker, a comedic series that combines video game news and commentary. Blurring the lines between reality and video games, OverThinker is a story driven analysis of gaming culture. This series led to the creation of Overbytes on ScrewAttack, with more of a focus on culture and tropes.
Bob has also written a book titled “Super Mario Bros. 3: Brick-by-Brick“, in which he deconstructs the game in the form of a “novelized Let’s Play” while analyzing the cultural significance and history of the Mario Bros. franchise.
He is also very active on his blog and twitter.
