Can't Get Near Joss Whedon at Comic-Con? Here's Your Chance

His shows have amongst the largest cult followings in television, and he gets mobbed at every Comic-Con. But now you have the chance to corner him for a private dinner (but be polite). 

Joss Whedon, creator of shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly (which is possibly the greatest sci-fi series ever according to my brother), and the recent movie Serenity, is auctioning off 5 seats at a private dinner with him to benefit Equality Now, an organization dedicated to protecting the human rights of women around the world. The shindig is taking place on July 27 in San Diego, so you can indulge your sci-fi side and your sun & surf passion in the same weekend!

In case the dinner is too much, he's also auctioning off a bunch of other items from his shows - check out his hilarious information page for more details on all of these. The bidding ends on July 12, so act fast.

To learn a little more about Joss and the fantastic cause he's supporting, make sure you watch this video of his speech from when Equality Now recognized him for his contributions to women's rights.
