I have a question for anyone following Desert Bus for Hope. Last night I was watching the epic saga of Octopimp bidding $1375 on that Star Wars auction and his awesomeness that was posted afterwards. I went to bed while people were working on Octopimp haiku and woke up to find he bid a record-breaking $2777 on something but searching leads me nowhere. What did he bid on?

I have absolutely no answers to your question but the levels of AWESOME in that youtube link are completely beyond words.

An Oni prize pack, with all the Scott Pilgrim books, an obi, a poster and a t-shirt.

Sadly, Octopimp's wikipedia page has been deleted. I mourn its passing.

And was that $1375 auction not one of the most awesome things ever?

Oh yes, it was great with that auction going on when that Okami fanart was being drawn. I also like all the replies about pants when the auction ended. My favorite was, "My pants needed a smoke after that."

YES! It was fantastic. My husband and I sat there in front of my computer staring and cheering when new bids came in.

I think it was Kathleen who said she needed a cigarette and she doesn't even smoke. At this very moment they're telling The Escapist (during a live interview) that the auctions last night were among their favorite moments.

Can someone clarify for me, I've only been able to follow loosely while at work. How many points are they up to now? 11?

They're about to break 10, last I checked at 2pm Central

They had 10 when I woke up this morning at 9am EST.

They must be by now, but they broke the overlay. They'd have hit 11 somewhere around 88 hours and they're at around 91 now.

Spoke too soon. Someone in chat just said 10 points, which means 11 must be coming soon.

Damn, I suck. They just confirmed 11 points during the live interview they're doing with The Escapist.

He was still bidding today - $500 for a set of "Poké Fortress 2" prints - but I don't know if he won that.

What the hell just happened? I checked maybe 6 hours ago and they were somewhere around 67k. Now they're at 75k.

The artist Ken Steacy (?) is back tonight. And Octopimp was on earlier driving up the bids.

Is that the dude in the Thunderbirds hat? He just drew a neat picture of Link from Legend of Zelda.

Are there any pics of the Okami illustration he drew? (Between this and the Wheaton interview it looks like I missed a bunch of cool stuff. :( )

I love his work. He likes to use light (and shadow, and edges) in a way that's not quite realistic, but very crisp and shiny.

I'm kind of glad now that I didn't see it happen live. Watching it even knowing what happens was painful. :( To think they're still at 0 points. At least they finally crossed the 100k milestone!

$1300 for Ken's last sketch. Wow.

I'm not surprised since Octopimp made "Octopimp: The Movie" just for what his plans are for tonight.

I wonder how high that massive Star Wars lot is going to go. Over 5k?

I was off on my guess, but 3500 is still pretty epic.
