And then, in conjunction with the ball, there's an online auction, to support the Moth. Nine things are up for auction.

One of them is me.

Not literally. I mean, you don't get to keep me.

It's afternoon tea. At The Players Club.
Here's the link to the auction:

Enjoy Afternoon Tea with Neil Gaiman at The Players in Gramercy Park

There's two days to go on the auction -- it ends at Nov. 19, 2008 at 11:59 PM EST. Right now you can get afternoon tea with me for a bid over $350.

I hope whoever wins it is nice.

i'd want to win it just to ensure that he goes to tea with a nice person who knows only somewhat about him and has read nothing of his so that he would have a normal conversation for once.

that's quite patronizing of you, don't you think? he knows what he's getting into by now :)

you can almost hear the trepidation in that last line though

like "oh man if i take you to this club do not like giggle maniaclly or do somethign crazy and make me so sad and embarassed to be there please dont just ask me the same questions everyone else does and go away"

unless he actually wants to talk about the minutiae of his work.
which would be different.
