I am heading to LA, to go to a fundraiser hosted by Kobe Bryant, Vanessa, and Bill Clinton. I have the meet and greet opportunity with each of them. During this fundraiser they will have an auction for the following:
The auction will feature one game of “HORSE” with Kobe Bryant, a chance to attend one of President Clinton’s speeches and meet him before or after, a pair of Turkish Airlines tickets and a hotel stay in Istanbul, and a pair of game-worn shoes signed by Kobe (authenticated by Panini).
I need your help on what a fair amount to bid would be? I don't really care for the Turkish Airlines/hotel stay or President Clinton's speech.
The HORSE game is what I'm gunning for...so NT help out and I will be sure to post the pictures once I get back.

Update:
Had a great time at the event last night. I got to chat with Bill Clinton (super friendly), and Kobe and Vanessa. The event was at a studio with free drinks and food. I waited got my wristband and got to take the photo with all 3 (should be in my email in 2 days).
The auction began and I was going head to head against some dude for the game of horse vs Kobe. Finally won it, Kobe came by dapped me up / and hugged. Thanked me and asked me if dunking is allowed, I said no but I'm on the KobeSystem, he goes now that I know that I wont let you shoot. Told him I'm from NY and flew in for the event, he said he appreciates me supporting him in his ups and downs (-_-,,) I gave him my business card to expand my network. He tweeted me and now I am trying to get him to follow me.

Twitter response:
The game will be scheduled in the summer after the season is over. I will begin practicing today. Going to have video and pics for the game.
Another highlight is getting drinks with Cheryl Burke from dancing with the stars. She was cheering me on to win and also took me to dance
asked her for lessons when I come back to LA. Got the number on behalf of NT, going to message her on twitter as well. Goal: to close.
