Vampire Valentine’s

Flowers: $20
Chocolate: $35
Romantic candle-lit dinner for two: $100
Spending Valentine’s Day with James Marsters: Priceless?

Actually, a price has been set for that particular enjoyment, naughty as it may be. For $195 dollars you can make your (read: my) dreams come true. Valentine’s Day with Spike. This is not a joke.

The South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC) in New Jersey is hosting, James Marsters: Your Funny Valentine, on February 15. It’s all James, all day. Mind you, the $195 is only for regular admission, for $225 you’re a VIP (closer seating). Guess what? All 150 available tickets are sold out. Besides spending time with this handsome man, here’s what the lucky few can expect:

  • Exclusive theatrical performance 
  • Signed souvenir from Dragonball 
  • Personalised autograph 
  • Q&A with James 
  • Photo session (with professional event photographer) 
  • Acoustic concert 
  • Screenings 
  • Free raffle for exclusive goods

This could be you!
Crazy? Yes. Completely original and amazing? Absolutely. He really needs to give his manager a raise for coming up with this one. Forgetting the extra VIP price, with just regular admission he’s making around $30,000 for a days work. And when I say work I mean, having women scream your name and paw at you all day.
I actually heard about the event a while ago but it was too rich for my blood. However, I just found out a limited number of seats have been released for the evening concert portion of the event and tickets are only $20! I may have to go. If for nothing else, just so I can tell people I spent Valentine’s Day with Spike.
Now please, let me leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Buffy, spoken by Spike of course: “Real love isn’t brains, children. It’s blood. It’s blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love’s bitch, but at least I’m man enough to admit it.”

    MentalMagma.com is about getting paid to be creative. Each week we host contests that are creative, idiosyncratic, and unlike any others you’ll find on the blogonetsphere.

    This week’s contest is to write a newspaper headline that might appear if brands of cereal were members of the US government. Here’s an example: Ambassador to Iraq, Tony the Tiger, reports an increase in guer-r-r-r-rilla warfare.
    The entry voted the favorite by MM users will earn its author their choice of a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate OR a $50 gift certificate to the MM Online Store. The user will also win a month’s supply of his or her favorite cereal (max value $16).

  2. Haha, I LOVE that puppies…christmas! one too.

  3. SCREAM! PAW! I want to do that! XD Spike is my favorite character from the show. And Marsters is so damn hot!

    One of my favorites Spike quotes is like, “Come one, vampires—rrrr, nasty! Let’s annihilate them. For justice, and for … the safety of puppies, and … Christmas! Let’s fight that evil! Let’s kill something! Oh, come on!”

    And more recently, “Someday he’ll be a real boy.” :D

  4. Ah-mazing. I’m wondering if someone paid extra, he’d speak in his lovely British accent the entire time?

    “I may be love’s bitch, but at least I’m man enough to admit it.” – truer words were never uttered.

    Also, “You’re a wee, little puppet man” is right up there, too.
