Well, actually, it's still six months away. The
Craft Along has been announced, however, so the countdown is officially on.
If you're not familiar with
Desert Bus for Hope, it's a charity event run by some folks (
Loading Ready Run) here in my home town of Victoria, BC, which raises funds for Child's Play, a charity dedicated to helping children in hospital have a little less abysmal of an experience by providing games, books, and toys. Over the six years the event has been running, Desert Bus has raised over $1,000,000 for the charity by playing the most boring game ever created, which lends its name to the event, in a non-stop week long webcasted marathon full of viewer challenges, celebrity call ins, auctions, giveaways, and examples of just what sleep deprivation does to the human psyche.
The event itself is still 196 days away, according to the site's countdown, and as I mentioned above, they've started accepting ideas for their annual Craft Along, where viewers make awesome items to be auctioned off and given away during the event. If you'd like to contribute, and have some crafting skills, perhaps I could convince you to follow the link and send something along - and if you don't, check out some of the videos from previous years on Youtube, talk it up with your friends, and perhaps, tune in to watch.
And now, for
the cast of this event reacting to
Normal Guy, Normal Walk.
