Lunch in Los Angeles or Chicago - your choice
Bidding is up to $950, with the next bid set at $1,050
The lucky winner of Lunch With Corgan can choose to dine in Los Angeles or Chicago, with the meal set at a mutually convenient time. The exact restaurant is up for grabs - and since Billy isn't paying (you have to foot the bill for the food too, lucky!), perhaps Subway isn't a bad way to go.
The auction benefits the Songwriters Hall Of Fame. According to CharityBuzz.com, one of the organization's goals is "to establish a permanent, state-of-the-art museum in New York City to highlight the achievements of songwriting greats and acknowledge their rightful place in our culture.
"The facility will also serve as a resource and center of study for scholars, aspiring songwriters, students and music lovers young and old to learn about our musical heritage."
Sounds decent enough. And hey, maybe Corgan will be generous and buy you dessert and coffee. After all, The Smashing Pumpkins have sold a few records in their time..
Bidding ends 30 June at 1:17pm EST, so break open that piggy bank and get on the case.
