Lorne Michaels hosts an event every year raising money for the American Museum of Natural History's scientific and educational programs, and the *SNL* cast dutifully attends (Tina Fey chaired it this season). It sounded like a fun party. John Mulaney hosted, and the Jonas Brothers played, and people got to sit around watching super wealthy benefactors offer to match $1 million in donations and bid $18,000 on the chance to watch the Thanksgiving parade from the museum steps with breakfast for 24 of their friends. This is also how I feel when we're at our elementary school's silent auction, where people get drunk and bid $10,000 on parking spots. It's fascinating to watch, but it's not my speed; the best money I ever spent at one of those was the $25 I bid on a Star Wars basket that turned out to have not one but TWO adult-size onesies in it. Mine is Chewbacca, and I wear it more than is probably normal.
