Win a Date With Joss Whedon

POSTED BY , 27 June 2007

Want to have a romantic dinner with the creator of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Astonishing X-Men, and Alien: Resurrection? Then you'll want to check out the charity auction being held by Dark Horse and Equality Now on eBay. The auction doesn't open until July 2nd, but check out this juicy info:

Bid to win a place at quasi-celebrity Joss Whedon's private dinner! This Comic-Con weekend, Joss will take five winning bidders to a swank San Diego restaurant for drinks and dinner in a private room. Three hours of intimate conversation, hilarious anecdotes and dark, awkwardly personal secrets. (Not to mention a little swag.) It's a fan experience like no other, to benefit Equality Now. Any subject you like is on the menu (not the actual menu; that'll probably just have food). For three hours, Joss gets to be your biggest fan.

The swag, by the way is a Serenity Special Edition Hardcover, and a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 7 Crew Gift Watch, which I assume means it'll run well for about 8 weeks, and then stop working except at random intervals.

By the way, on a more personal note, this is probably the first story I've hesitated from posting on this blog: eBay user az24 doesn't need more competition for this auction. But bad for me, good for you, my journalistic impulses pushed through. Sigh.
