Joss Whedon, the man behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly is auctioning off five seats at a private dinner with him in aid of Equality Now, a charity that promotes equal rights for and fights violence and discrimination against women around the world.

Its an incredible opportunity for fans to get closer to Whedon and pester him with questions without fear of restraining orders.

“For three hours, Joss gets to be your biggest fan,” Whedon writes on his official auction page on eBay.

The dinner is being sponsored by Dark Horse Comics, which is currently publishing Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer season-eight comic series, and MySpace.com. Auction Cause is handling the auction.
