Any one can tell me the fastest and cheapest way to buy bitcoin immediately?

It seems that Mt.Gox charges $10 to buy bitcoin from them.
I am in the USA and so need to do a bank transfer from my bank to theirs but their bank charges a 1,000 Yen receiving fee (about $10 USD).

I already signed up with Dwolla too, and started the transfer of funds to my Dwolla account, but the funds will not be there till the 14th of this month at the earliest. and I need to pay a bill with bitcoin before that.

Some time ago I signed up with coinbase and got verified and tried to just buy half a Bitcoin with them but they canceled my transaction. saying:

"Unfortunately, we have decided to cancel this order because it appears to be high risk. We do not send out any bitcoins on high risk transactions, and your bank account will not be charged."  Tongue

I am new to Bitcoin and just started to use it and now I am in a bind because I need some bitcoin ASAP!

Anyone have any tips of how to get some Bitcoin by this Monday the 13th?

Thanks!

Virwox is fast and takes paypal (no need for international money transfer), but is not cheap. Note that you need to first buy Linden Dollars then convert to BTC; it works fine though.
