i am going to be buying some coins soon and there is a place that has moneygram but what info do i have to get from bit instant before i can send the cash to them so i can buy my coins?
any advice would be nice thanks.

Bitinstant doesn't require any info except a bitcoin address and email address. Here's how I do it, not saying it's the right way:
1. Order bitcoins through bitinstant with MoneyGram (SR bitcoin address, get a new one each time, and my tormail address).
2. Go to moneygram place that has tellers, or go to a 7-11 that has one of those fancy looking ATM's with a receiver. Either way you'll talk to a real person. Give them a fake name, address, and phone number (i actually use a real phone number but that phone is not tied to my real identity. Moneygram has never called)..
3. Bitcoins show up in your SR account a few hours later. Yay, time to buy some droogz!! :p

I just realized i didn't actually answer your question!! What can I say, I'm high!! haha
You get a receipt e-mailed to you from bitinstant (don't download the pdf), I just take a picture of it and take it to moneygram. It has a receiver number (company transfering bitcoins to you), and account number (transaction number). That's all moneygram requires in addition to name, address, and phone number (all fake!!).

on a second thought what is the easiest way for me to buy coins i dont feel like paying 35 bucks just to use a moneygram

It doesnt cost that much. you are not sending money to a person. Its a business payment trans. There is no fee for moneygram.
Lots of businesses use MG or WU for payments. Some credit card companies even use them if you want to make a quick payment. It is NOT the same thing as sending money to a person. Therefore you do not get charged the same as you would if you were sending money to another person.

well i looked up on the moneygram site and it said it would be 37 dollars to send 500 dollars
