Who I'd like to meet: I respect political thinkers (irrespective of what side of the aisle they
occupy) who maintain their integrity and convictions, rather than selling out due to political expediency.
You know I would be COMPLETELY down! But I got a job working the Star Wars show at the Nokia Theatre Weds and Thurs. Change your dinner plans for Tuesday or Friday night : )
