  You forfeit all of the above (except the signed CD) and instead choose from one: I- We take a flight to LAX, then a car rental to recluse Joni Mitchell’s house on Funchal Drive in the Hollywood Hills ring the bell and see what happens. If she doesn’t answer we go try Neil Young just down the road apiece. III- I prattle on about sex with old girlfriends and how great the 60s were for 30 minutes, while you sit and feign listening attentively. Note: Pick only one! C’mon $6,000. isn’t that much.
