At the intersection of goodness

Some time ago SunriseArc had occasion to seek a favor in support of an uncoming event: get the autograph(s) of notable artists, songwirters or producers of a compilation of monster hits that would be offered for auction as a centerpiece item . After some due diligence a contact was made to a person with connections to these good folk and the process of requests began.
