Going Once, Going Twice… SOLD!

| 2 Comments

So evidently I’m a cheap date. Well, maybe not that cheap. At tonight’s CitizenGulf DC fundraiser for recovering the gulf from the BP oil spill, I and several others auctioned off one date with ourselves to the highest bidder.

I sold for $45, to the always amazing @jillfoster. We’re planning a “morning date” for next week–despite the fact that she’s married! Of course it’s not a real date, but I offered to hang out and help her with her blog and any other personal technological projects that have been put on the back burner lately–I’m looking forward to it!

The event was a blast. When @andinarvaez contacted me earlier in the week to ask me to auction myself off, I wasn’t entirely sure what to think, but it couldn’t have been more fun. While obviously I wasn’t looking for a real date–this crowd isn’t exactly my target market, ya know–I’m thrilled to be able to hang out with such a brilliant professional like Jill!

In other news, I’m exhausted! The beginning of classes have hit hard. The classes themselves aren’t that difficult, but it’s just a lot to balance, and I’m sure I’ll adjust as the summer goes on. But more on that later… for now, I’m grabbing some shut-eye.

  1. Oh, Alex. You're not a cheap date. It's just that most of us can get you for free.
