Realistically:
Since I'm new to the Twin Cities and know not a soul, fairly interesting people in the area would be a plus. Fellow Artists, fellow sarcastic assholes, people who wear Chuck Taylors and Birkenstocks as religiously as I do, and genuinely kind people.
Unrealistically: Madeline Kahn, Sofia Coppola, Kafka, Jeff Buckley, Audrey Hepburn.
