My Pride: Going Once, Going Twice, Sold.
I’ve recently agreed to take part in a charity bachelor auction a friend is putting on for her boss. A little too Saved By the Bell/90210/O.C. for my taste, but any opportunity where I can address a large crowd with a mic from a bully pulpit I’ll not-so-reluctantly oblige. I don’t anticipate pulling down any kind of significant bid, but free liquor is free liqour. (And there’s that whole charity thing too). My self-evaluated sticker price sits comfortably at $2.35 (for everything you see here). I have no idea what it’s gonna be like, but I do know that one of the following NYC personalities will be there. For those of you who will be in attendance please take note so you may bid accordingly:

Full report to follow the event.
i thought charity bachelor auctions only existed on bad sitcoms! i had no idea they happened in real life!
Michael,
I’d pay for a night with you. Where do I sign up for this event?
That’s so awesome! Too bad I can’t pimp out some of my co-workers. Wait, maybe I still can… ;)
Good Luck Michael! Hope you win a great date!!!
I concur with Lisa.. Had no idea that these events are actually hosted here in NYC. Speaking of dating, has anyone here tried speed dating or magic match? I haven’t tried any of them but would love to hear from people who has.
Michael, good luck on the auction tonight and can’t wait to hear the post-op!
I hope for the sake of our readers I win a bad date. What’s better – “we had a great time, made out like teenagers with hands down eachothers pants” or “she started sobbing uncontrollably when I asked her why she brought her dog to dinner”
