The best thing to do is get them to send you their picture with a sign. We should get one to give us a picture that says "TranceAddict.com"

Dude, tell him you'll do it, but he has to prove his identity by holding up a sign that says www.tranceaddict.com

Seriously, he'll do it. It'll be the best thing ever.
