Getting A Jane's Addiction autograph

Ok, so I sent a PM to Mike about this, but didn't get any answer, so I'll just post the same question here, hoping that someone can help me; or maybe if any of the band members reads this ...

JA are performing in Arnhem, Holland, which is pretty close to where I live in Belgium. Obviously I'm going to see them.

Another thing is I'm a vinyl fetishist (I have all the JA albums + boots on vinyl - well, except the Among Freaks 7") and what the biggest turn on for me is, is getting those vinyls signed (by myself, I'm not gonna buy some autographed vinyl on the net)

So, since I'm a big Jane's Addiction fan, it would be really cool to have my album signed by the band.

Since the Arnhem hall is a pretty big venue, it will be very difficult to get close to the band. So, here's the favour I'm asking. Can anyone get me in touch wiht the band, or get em to sign my album one way or another?

I know it's a bit of a long shot, but hell .....

It is probably a long shot, but you can always try to message Dave via Twitter or Facebook :noclue:

Hi Mescal, I got your PM and yes I'm the same Mike that has previously gone by Nothing's Shocking and the same guy that snagged and shipped the Best Buy Box Set to you.

I know you're a good guy having read your posts and interacted with you on these boards over the years.
While I'd love to help you in your quest to get some of your vinyl signed I don't have any say in that stuff.
I get these requests all the time and I wish I could say hey guys could you do this for this guy or that girl but it doesn't work like that.

I will say that some members of this board and our previous incarnation www.perryfarrell.net have been contacted privately and hooked up with tickets, meet and greets, etc.

Those lucky folks did nothing but participate on the board in a positive way and were rewarded for it IMO.
So you're off to a good start having recently signed up here.
I will pass along your request but I make no promises that anything will come of it.

Lastly my apologies for not getting back to you.
I'm usually pretty good when it comes to returning PMs to people and yours just caught me at a bad time.
I wish you luck and if this pans out for you let me know.

Yeah well, I know.

Thanks for your effort MIke, and indeed I am a decent guy :)

I know it is rather a long shot, but I thought, I might as wel ask it. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out, but if you don't ask anything you won't get anything :)

So yes, I'll see how it works out, and we are gonna enjoy the show anyway.

+ it's my friend's birthday that day, so if karma works out ... :)

So thanks again mike for asking Perry
