Words cannot describe my geeky shame at how much I want THIS.
It’s probably a good thing I haven’t recieved my advance money for my UK deal yet. Otherwise I would be tempted to do something delicious, charitable, but profoundly financially unwise….
Alas,

Do it! >>It goes to a good cause and 10 years from now you’ll remember the dinner, not the lack of a few thousand dollar.
Maybe you can work out a deal to name a character in the next book after him as a trade for dinner with him.
You should definitely try. Nothing wrong with the good ol’ college try eh?>>It’s for the children Pat, for the children…I like 42one’s idea. Offer the idea of a cameo appearance for him :)
Over $8,000 for one meal and a poster?!? Now I’m no banker, but isn’t that a little off-balance.>>Though I suppose you would say Joss Whedon’s personality is worth the $7,950 extra you’re spending…>>I don’t see it, but then, I’ve never had that much money in my posssesion. Ever.
You should offer him $8,001 with a signed copy of your book. If he’s not a fan yet, he will be after he finishes reading it.
Keep playing at the fame game, and you may not have to win a contest … who knows who you’ll get to rub shoulders with in future?
I think you should auction yourself for charity (in a respectable manner, of course). Maybe Joss Whedon is already a fan… maybe he’ll bid on YOU!>>Of course, a plan like that could backfire magnificently. Who knows what weirdo could crawl out of the woodwork, mortgage their house to win the bid and fulfull their wildest stalker-fan fantasy? Got money for private security?>>Maybe you should just send Joss a signed copy of your book.
No no, sending Joss a signed copy of your book is too direct. here is a much better plan:>>send ME a signed copy of your book, and this will result in… [mutters incoherently]… and thus you would almost certainly get a dinner with Joss Whedon.>>>(well… its worth a try, right?)
Aaaaiiieee! That is awesome! >It’s for charity, Pat! I am sure it is tax deductible or something! *Squeals* How cool would three hours with Joss Whedon be? I bet cecrow is right though- before too long Joss will be knocking on your door telling you how much he enjoys your work. ;-)
or maybe someday he’ll wander across the small shout outs to his creative works that you dropped inside of yours…>>ya never know!
Well I just finished the orgasm that is Firefly. Best show I’ve ever seen in my entire life and I’m pining for more. I want it, I need it, I crave it. I fell in love with each and every character, I just want someone to pick up the damn show and continue it. Suffice it to say I’d take this offer if I had the cash.
Pat,>>I agree with you. Three hours with Joss Whedon would be so cool! Alas, you are not the only one who could not afford the privilege. Heck, I couldn’t afford to buy a handkerchief for the person in charge of helping Joss blow his nose at this point…>>Ok, I’ll admit, that was gross.>>Lincoln
@ mathas
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Firefly is definitely a mental orgasm.
