Need some help - Bill Walton - Anyone know him? Know of a show coming up?

Some of you may have seen this in my TTM thread but I wanted to start a new topic for those that have not in case you are able to help me. This is a Media Guide from the 1976-77 Portland Trail Blazers season - their only World Championship. I have been working on gathering signatures on this piece for 8-10 months. I have all the starters minus Bill Walton (Maurice Lucas, Dave Twardzik, Bob Gross and Lionel Hollins), 2 reserves (Johnny Davis, Larry Steele) and the HOF coach - Dr. Jack Ramsay. I still plan on it going to Lloyd Neal, but I figured this would be the right time to ask the board for help.
Bill Walton is definitely the key signature on here and he's not a reliable TTM signer. About a year ago I sent a card to him to test for this purpose and never received it back. So my question is this: does anyone out there in PSA-land know him or have a connection that could get this in his hands? If not, is anyone aware of who his show-promoter of choice is? I would REALLY prefer not to pay for his signature, partly because I'm broke, but also because every other guy on it has signed for free and I feel like if he saw it he would happily sign it for free, considering who has already signed. That said, if paying him is my only option, I'll move a few cards to free up cash to do so.
If you can help me, please shoot me a PM. I really appreciate it.

This is possible on a February that starts on Tuesday, Feb 1 during a leap year.
It is also possible on 30 day long months that start on a Monday or Tuesday or 31 day long months that start on a Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday.
You may want to contact T.J. Schwartz - he has become close friends with Walton over the years and could probably ensure your guide gets signed.

It's like he sat down one day, looked in the mirror and said, "Hmmm...How can I make myself look even uglier?"
