Jimmy Meet and Greet

Just in case you were wondering what to do with that spare $11,000 burning a hole in your pocket, you might want to bid for 2 VIP Buffett tickets and a meet and greet.

That's crazy!
Anyone with that kind of spare change probably plays golf with Jimmy anyway!

There's still 21 days to go in the auction, I wonder how much higher the bidding will go.

It was my wallet not my checkbook, I paid by credit card. And it was only a 5 figure amount because 2 of those figures were to the right of the decimal point.

think of this as your chance to break your record.. granted this blonde has less hair, and not as much height.. but it's still dinner with a blonde.

Now I REALLY have to buy those Megaball tickets!!

But wait, maybe I should look at this from a different perspective...If I were to travel to several of Mr. Buffett's concerts around the country in 2007, with the airfares, hotel bills, and miscellaneous costs [very HIGH if Vegas is included], I could easily reach $11,000.....and never get anywhere near him....

However, the bidding goes on till 12/13...who knows how high it might go, while i would have to cash in my IRAs and sell my beautiful young niece to raise $11,000....

{sigh} guess i better go back to the Aspen fantasy

This would be a steal compared to Vegas, I was suppose to meet JB for a fee of 25k, which while it was steep I was ok with since this is my boyhood hero. Nonetheless a week before the concert the promoter tells my contact, no the fee is 125k, to which I said jump in the lake. I am hoping the bidding doesn't go to high but I have to meet the guy and the sooner the better.

nobody is worth paying $25k to see. If you think so, it's obvious you have too much time and money on your hands.
