Hey hey, everyone!

Just wanted to give you a reminder that Desert Bus will be on The Zone tomorrow. If you’re up, there’s a strong possibility you’ll be tune in to 91.3FM and hear me on the The morning Zone with Dylan Willows and Jason Lamb. If you’re more of an afternoon type, then turn your radio on around 3, and listen for us on the afternoon show, with Jeremy Baker.

If you haven’t got a radio, or you live somewhere outside the range of the typical FM radio station based in Victoria, you can head on over to www.thezone.fm And listen via live streaming. Just click “Listen Live” and you’re good to go. That should help get your computer warmed up for the main event, too. Remember, we’re kicking off at 6PM.

Well, we’re 3 days out, and we’ve been teasing you like crazy about our “grand plans” for this year’s Desert Bus. I figured it might be time to give you all a taste of what you’re in for this year, and why you’ll want to stay glued to our feed for the duration of the event. Naturally, I can’t say too much – mostly because not everything is written in stone yet, but we can’t leave you in the dark forever. We have been networking all year, and have been working with the following people to ensure that this year’s Desert Bus is an event you won’t want to miss. Keep watching, and you may see involvement from:

Wil Wheaton, the cast of ‘The Guild’, Sean from Harmonix, the Joystiq Podcast’s Justin McElroy, John Davison of What They Play and 1Up Yours, Microsoft’s Major Nelson, Jeremy Baker of http://www.thezone.fm, and Sam Logan of Sam and Fuzzy.

Naturally, we’ve also been in contact with Penn&Teller this year – they were unbelievably supportive in 2007, and they’ve done everything in their power to support our plans for this year. So I wanted to thank them both for everything they’ve done to help us along.

If you live in victoria (or even if you don’t) tune into Jeremy Baker’s afternoon show on The Zone on Friday the 28th between 3pm and 4pm. Members of the LoadingReadyRun cast will be on the air promoting Desert Bus and talking to Jeremy Baker about our event. If you want to listen, you can tune in to 91.3 FM (in Victoria) or you can stream live over the internet from thezone.fm.

Have a great week, everyone, and I’ll feed you a few more details as the start time draws nearer!
