Ex-Nine Inch Nails drummer Josh Freese has drawn up a list of bizarre 'packages' offering fans once in a lifetime opportunities to meet and hang out with him.

The 11 price configurations range from $7 to $75,000, and get more lavish as the price goes up.

For a relatively cost-effective $50, fans can get a copy of Freese's new solo album 'Since 1972', a T-shirt and a personal "thank you" phone call from him in which they are encouraged to talk about anything.

"You can tell him what you like about the record that you purchased, or what you thought sucked," reports Mashable.com.

The price of $500, meanwhile, gives fans the chance to go on a dinner date with the drummer.

Freese, who as a session musician has worked with DEVO, , Guns N' Roses, Sting, Queens Of The Stone Age and Katy Perry, has also got some of his famous friends in on the act.

Fans who pay $5,000 have the option of receiving a personally written letter from Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard telling them about his favourite song on 'Since 1972'.

A fee of $10,000 is enough to get 's band and Freese to take two fans to dinner at Roscoe's Chicken 'n' Waffles in Long Beach.

Tool's Maynard James Keenan, DEVO's Mark Mothersbaugh and Freese will even take one fan "miniature golfing and then drop you off on the side of the freeway (all filmed and posted on YouTube)," for $20,000.

Not all of the packages are legal either.

For $75,000, Freese offers the chance to join him to "Take 'shrooms and cruise Hollywood in Danny [Carey] from Tool's Lamborghini."

the " take shrooms and cruise Hollywood " part of the last one seems like it would go wrong in dozens of ways ( not that i even know any1 that would do this ) like the grand theft mario episode from robot chicken ( if you havent seen it you should its on youtube and its really funny ).
