Your best bet is definitely blackface. The whole idea is getting the right color shoe polish. It's just about doing it tastefully, okay?
Oh, and you got to make the lips funny.

I was wondering who would be the first to suggest this.  Even having only been around for a couple days, I had my money on you, Julian. 

What color(s) of shoe polish do you think would be "right?"  And should I accessorize?

It really depends on your skin tone going on. When you wear concealer, on the standard 9 point scale, which do you buy?

Gosh, usually I just get whatever is cheapest.

Egging on, champion.
Everyone,

As the clock ticks down, I just wanted to say thanks for your help in trying to get this autograph for me.  Whether you personally messaged the band or came back to the thread every day, I appreciate it. 

I knew it was a long shot, but hey, we tried.  And I know I had fun.  The witty banter was entertaining, if nothing else. 

Just because London Grammar goes on in a few hours and then leaves DC forever doesn't mean this thread has to die.  It's original purpose may expire, but surely it has other uses. 

So I've said my piece, which means all that's left to do is tastefully don my disguise and try to catch the band after the show.  Julian, how do I look?

Why, yes . . . You are, officially one of us.  Welcome, brother (no pun intended).
That's some good, old-fashioned family friendly racism.

It may be racially insensitive, but I disagree that it's racism. 

In any case, the distinction is irrelevant, because my takeaway from the past 3 days is that the only rule is there are no rules.
Kozmo may differ with his opinion on the rules
but yeah it's like Road Warrior here

Julian is the guy with the mic

Who run barter town?
Just woke up.  Uhh.  But, this was the first thing I thought of.  And the club twitter person last night was . . . Post happy.
It's a given that the bigger the hype the more they tweet a show
Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not seeing a ton of twitter action.  Then again, I'm like a grandpa trying to check my email on Compuserve when it comes to twitter.  No idea how to use it.
For anyone interested, the conclusion to the story.

Having come to terms with the failure of the mission, I did as Julian suggested and turned to eBay.  Picked up a microphone signed by the lead singer, Hannah Reid, for about $50. 

The story will go something like I reached out all over the internet, people put me in touch with other people, blah blah blah, somehow got connected with the owner of the club who said he could make something happen.  After the show, he emailed me and said Hannah signed the microphone from the show and its at the club for me to pick up. 

Whatever… the truth is what I say it is.

I just hope you get laid for your efforts.
