During the 2003 NYC blackout, Bob sat in the lobby of a hotel with a bunch of hardcore fans for like 2 hours, just talkin' music and chilling. Someone walked up and asked for an autograph. Bob turned to the fans he was with, said "You see, this is why I can't do this more often..." and went upstairs.
A fan handed Bob's personal bodyguard an envelope outside of a venue. The envelope had a very personal letter, an album sleeve, and SASE in it. The guy got his envelope in the mail about a week later with a note in it from the guard. The note said that Bob refused to even open the envelope.
My guitar teacher's wife was once in a Barnes and Nobel in NYC. She turned down the cook book aisle to find a recipe book, when Bob Dylan at the other end of the aisle yelled "Don't come any closer!" She just looked at him, smiled, and said "Don't worry, Bob, I just want a book."
Try what you will, but know that the man is a total recluse (as any of us would be if we found ourselves the unwitting mouthpiece of a generation) and does not like interaction with strangers. If you want his autograph, you can buy a print off of his website for about 2500 pounds.
