A Tour Of The Magic Bus: The Shoe Room
This room is a 60X60 foot room with a 20 foot ceiling and one door. As the name sort of indicates, it is piled high with all sorts and sizes of shoes. If it was made to be worn by a human being over the last 5 centuries, it will sooner or later turn up here.
The shoes are always in pairs, although the two may be yards apart. There are all sizes of shoes, from baby shoes to big honkin’ size 18’s made for some basketball player. All of the shoes are brand new.
Over the years, dogs, cats, goats, humans and other critters have frolicked among these piles of shoes. However, with the passing of Silky, Daisy & Luke, as well as Brownie and Cupcake leaving home, Sasha has asked the Bus to delete the Shoe Room. It might well be back, but not in the foreseeable future.

A Tour Of The Magic Bus: The Warehouse
The Warehouse is by far the most frustrating room on the Bus. First of all, it changes it’s size too often to be accurately measured. Then, it changes how things are laid out, too. Finally, it is impossible to inventory because new stuff arrives all the time.
Our best estimate as on today is that the warehouse covers about 2.5 square miles and has 3 levels, for a total of 7.5 square miles. Unlike the warehouse in Raiders of the Lost Ark, our warehouse is clean and well lit. The warehouse workers, and there are maybe 30 of them, all look like various character actors from films & TV between 1930 and 1970. You’d recognize most of them.
We all enjoy poking around in the warehouse. Not only do we find real historical items (the Fat Man and Little Boy A bombs, for instance), but we find legendary stuff (Excalibur and the Ark of the Covenant, to name two) and items from alternate Earths (a complete 400 issue run of Doc Savage Magazine and several busted up Daleks). Of course, some of us are only allowed in the warehouse under supervision, due to a few unfortunate instances.
