I will do this for Arfin.

I applaud your investigative skills, very impressive. But unfortunately my amazing dog is not on the table.

To clarify a couple things: 

1. I actually am not going to the show.  That's why I was hoping to connect with someone with access to the band, like perhaps backstage before they go on.

2. If you were to choose cash, I was thinking around $100.  But who knows, I may be so appreciative in the moment that I might throw in a little extra.

If there's anything I'm proud of myself about in the Julian II era, its that I've inspired so many to research the email addresses of anyone new who shows up. You just know someone is calling this guy's law firm at some point today.  :D

I could easily achieve this task for you, but I only accept payment in limbs. The glaring omission of "my left leg" from your list of payment options renders me unwilling to assist you.

If limbs is truly what you're after, I'd opt for the first born.

Wait... you think you created the innovative technique of searching an email address?

KUDOS TO YOU SIR, JULIAN!

For $100, I will be glad to go on ebay, purchase you an autograph for $40-50 (which seems to be the going rate) and ship it to you first class. Are my terms acceptable?

I think I've made it vogue to do so within the limited range of this community, yes.

That's an option I've explored myself, but I would always wonder if it was legit or not.  Plus it'd make for a pretty shitty story if she asked how I got it.

To be fair, you're asking random people on the internet to get it for you. Both of those issues are still very much in play.

It's a risk that can't be completely avoided.  Best I can do is minimize it, and I thought this approach might be a good way to do that.

I would trust a reputable ebay seller selling an item that appears similar to an untrained eye to google image searched examples of the band's autograph way before I would trust the hooligans that frequent this place. I mean, you showed up and people had your dog's name and your employer in like 4 minutes. You want to send us money? Your address? This is as dangerous as a diabetic swimming in a vat of pure, unadulterated cane sugar.
