A few days ago, Toast tagged me with this one:
[With] what five living people would you most like to go out for an evening of beers and lively conversation, and why?
Kind of a tough to limit it to just five, but here’s my best shot, in no particular order:
1. Al Gore—I’m sure everyone knows the reasons; I’ve admired him since I was a teenager, before he was even announced as Clinton’s running mate. I think he’s a fascinating guy, and I would undoubtedly abuse the privilege of meeting with him to shamelessly beg him to run in 2008.
2. Rosa Parks—I think this might be more of an afternoon tea and chat than an evening of beers, but regardless of the setting or beverage, I’d really enjoy having the opportunity to speak to her about what I consider one of the bravest acts in American history.
3. David Bowie—Come on, because he’s David fucking Bowie.
4. George Carlin—I almost can’t imagine how immeasurably fun a conversation with him would be. My only worry would be whether I could keep up. And if I could make him laugh…well, that would just be brilliant.
5. My Londoner Andy—Because it’s been toooooo long since we’ve had the opportunity, and it’s going to be even longer.
I won’t tag anyone—do it if you wanna, and if you do, let me know in comments!
