Food and Cooking it... Books and Reading it... Sports and Playing it...
BUT MOSTLY FOOD
I'd like to meet:
A person who can share a new perspective..on life and
death and everything in between.
A person named Danny/Sam or Alex who is female (so I can
make references to a Danny/Sam or Alex and people will
think she's a he...)
Someone British (to hear my,underground, tea and crumpet
jokes..while critiquing my fake english accent)
A real live gangsta..(to scare off them jive fakers)
A writer(a real one),a classical musician (preferably the
violin)
Peeps that wear the Lisa Loeb glasses...

and Urban Philosophers are a welcome addition to any
party.
