Yup. And if you look at our history we’ve been doing just that forever. It’s why I have hope for the long term, but I think we’re gonna be in it for a while in the short term. But we got this.

Remove Wheeler entirely. Make Crim biggest. Make Voxy upside down coming into frame from the top. And make you tiny and scared in the bottom right corner.

I’m something of a YouTube thumbnail expert.

My understanding is the go to brand is Zojirushi. I have several friends who swear by them.

Couple days away from the 50th anniversary. I think I’ve heard it or various covers 3-4 times in the last few days on the radio.

Oh my god. I completely forgot I did that.

And to spice it up just a little bit, I will match the first 100 donations of $5USD exactly that are made before the start of the run. Obviously it’ll be great if we get more, but I figure that’s likely what my goof would have cost me 😃.

So head over to desertbus.org and get those $5 donations in!

So here’s all I’m asking. If you’re reading this and you can throw $5 towards the cause before we start that would be swell! If all 7600 of you who follow me on BlueSky do that (and I assume you’re all active users who read every post I make) we’ll break records!

The good news is I have a really great idea, and something I’ve been thinking about doing for years planned for the big 20th anniversary next year, but that still leaves us with nothing for this year. And I think that’s OK. Sometimes it’s good to take a break.

I tried to swap it from something we were going to have at the after party to something we’d have at the start of the run, but there were logistical reasons that wouldn’t work. So 2 days out from the run I was back to having nothing, and I think nothing it shall remain.

Then I had a cute idea that wouldn’t require a ton of output on my end. I got it booked and was happy with where I landed. Cut to 2 days later. I got an email on Wednesday saying there was a schedule problem, and the date I choose no longer worked.

I have been wracking my brain for the last couple weeks trying to find something for this years show that would be fun, but also not require a ton of work on my part. I got some good suggestions from y’all, but nothing was really doing it for me.

That is such a ungodly amount of travel. Don't know how you do it :P
