This might normally go into the Mad News, but it’s kind of too cool for that.
Jon Hamm is auctioning off lunch with himself for charity. Proceeds go to the Adrienne Shelly Foundation, supporting women filmmakers.
Check out the various auctions for this cause here.
Bid on Jon (heh) here.
Basket of Kisses: The unofficial blog of AMC's Mad Men. Where all the cool kids meet & greet to talk about Don Draper, Janie Bryant, Christina Hendricks, Jon Hamm, Matthew Weiner, & subtexty things.Columnist Froma Harrop talks about the series appeal viewed through today’s society and values
Scholar Jason Mitchell thoughtfully presents his reasons for disliking Mad Men (even though he’s dead wrong; plus, he’s a fan of the sci-fi Christian melodrama Lost).
Is Danny a young Matt Weiner?
High praise for Elisabeth Moss’s lovely gown
Shockingly, the Fug Girls like what January wore to the Emmys.

Adrienne Shelly – so talented and her early demise is more than tragic. Lunch with Hamm? In a second. Now, if was dinner or an "over-nighter" I'd be liquidating my assets for a chance at that!
April 9th, 2009 at 6:51 am
Like I could eat.

Best part? It's an agreed upon destination, so you could totally have oysters and cheesecake at Musso & Frank's.

Holy cow, we can buy a SET!
April 9th, 2009 at 10:42 am
I wonder how much it would cost to get them to run up and down the stairs afterward….

Can a group do bid?
Like in Jon Hamm has lunch with the BasketCases?
April 9th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Slattery for sale!
April 9th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Looks like Slattery is up for grabs as well. Who to choose? Who to choose? Decisions, decisions!

LOL, Roberta. And Karl!
There are actually some incredible auction items here (lunch with Edie Falco? Backstage tour at the Colbert Report? And yeah, lunch with Jon?) — and all for such a great cause.
I loved Waitress. It was a terrific film, uplifting and tender and true. Adrienne Shelley was a special person, whose work had just begun to hint at what she had to share with us.
Sure, I’ll bid … and happily lose.

Deborah and I have birthdays coming up.
Just saying.
April 9th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Me too!
April 9th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
OK, Hamm already went out of my budget, but Slattery is still a steal!
April 9th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
23 bids already for Jon.
Obviously I’d like to bid on John’s but, I’m trying to save that $500 towards everything else in my life.
Bummer…
April 9th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
Such a great cause too!

Mutually agreed upon, hmmm. So lunch in a hotel suite probably won’t be an option because Jennifer and Talia would get to veto that?
However, it would fit the nature of the show; a little clandestine meal together, right?

The same day they announced this auction I unexpectedly received a little $ sum from dear Auntie’s estate. Probably not enough to win the auction, but I know she’d want me to put it to good use
So as soon as I can get in the “preapproved” bidder pool, I’m in as far as it takes me…and if not will make sure to give BoK some love regardless.
Anything for a good charitable cause, and someone has to win!

How is it that Kevin Smith is leading Jon Hamm?
April 15th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
I think one person has a maximum bid already in the system that keeps everyone else from outbidding them. That tends to discourage the back and forth you might see in other auctions and also keeps the ante low.
) so we did our best to get things catalyzed…totally serious and we'll see where it ends up.
You also have to be a prequalified bidder so really aren't many folks participating – at least right now.
Jon and the Foundation are definitely worth more than $1425 (which is what it was stuck on for 2 days
April 15th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
OK, we’re in the thick of bidding now – another day and a bit to finish off – waiting to see what happens at the top.
BTW you can bring a guest and since Mr. Seagirl already gracefully declined, that means room for another BoK attendee. Is anyone else playing?
April 15th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Only in my imagination. Hamm is too rich for my blood.
