I'd like to meet:
Dickie Cox loves meeting people and hearing about their daily lives, travels, and their ideas. Extraordinary conversation always brings him back to earth. Members of the illuminati, freemasons, aliens, gypsies, phreakers, gutter punks, suits, geeks, artists, writers, zealots, flakes, drunks, and musicians are most interesting to him. When his last breath passes and he slips deep into the trials of the bardo, he wants to know that the prime material plane benefited from his obsessions and relationships so that the earthbound spirits will send encouraging thoughts to him to seek only the brightest of lights and to ignore the dull lights of lower planes.
