I recommend a fanboy/fangirl slave auction! Highest bidder gets the boy or girl for the evening (nothing impied!) and proceeds for charity. It's worked at other cons...(Granted, a Klingon slave auction generally does well anyway...)
I've been asked to step in on this conversation, in my Chair role.
CHAIR:
I know we mean Slave Auction in the most innocent of senses (like making your little brother do your chores) BUT just to be sure, here's a clarification.
Any implication that we (Kumoricon) would condone sales of persons into slavery, even temporarily, is erronious. Please keep this in mind for the remainder of the discussion.
END CHAIR
On an up note:
There may be an event which allows people to bid on time spent with a cosplayer. This will be along the lines of "Tea with Sephiroth", or "Ramen with Naruto". The winning bidders will then go to a con sanctioned event together, where they can meet the obligation of the bid, while we keep a watchful eye.
As Tom said, I think auctions are a fun way to meet people, if they are pulled off tastefully.
Now, please return the conversation to it's original purpose. What do you want to see at the Charity Auction?

Remember that you can also donate manga to our convention library!
As part of the arrangement to get Pocky Club a table in the Exhibitor's Hall our table will be right next to the Kumoricon Swag table (AKA, the Auction Table of Treasures) and Pocky Clubbers will be assisting at both tables throughout the convention.
This means that I'm helping out there as well. When the time comes just let me know any special rules and procedures and I'll make sure all of my Pocky Clubbers are informed and trained before the convention.
We'll be donating a few things!!!! Treats and or swag! Miau~!!
Pocky Club might not be able to do the Pockynic Basket, again. this year we still don't have the basket itself and we're low on funds for the blankets. However, I will be able to get my "Pocky Sampler" to you with a full description sheet.
