I'd like to meet everyone in the entire world.
In particular, Anthony Bourdain, Dave Foley, and Ted Leo.
And...
People who want to introduce me to good music.
People who want me to sing in their band.
People who don't mind my fondness for sentence fragments.
And perhaps a slightly chubby boy whose favorite band is Wilco?
...Seriously. If that's you, I really want to meet you.
Aaand for the sake of showing off...
I have met:
Jonathan Safran Foer
(made a total fool of myself, as usual)
Leo Allen
Demetri Martin
Stephen Malkmus*
Morgan Nagler***
Kate Taylor
Vanesa Corbala*
Annie Gunn
(Means nothing to you, means the fucking WORLD to me. And she knew who I was! Like, she knew my name before I had a chance to tell her and everything!!)
Jason Chronis*
Ramesh Srivastava*
*I apparently am now collecting hugs from people I consider famous. One astrik indicates one hug (as in, for every hug I recieve from some person, one astrik is added next to their name).
