Who I'd like to meet:
Readers, writers, musicians, artists, filmmakers; John Cameron Mitchell (because he's a genius); my ancestors; Jesus and Mohammed (for a tea party, during which we'd have a lively discussion about fundamentalism); smart and creative people who don't call themselves intellectuals; anyone who attempts to put the heart back in post-modern; myself as a cat.
