I'd like to meet:
I like meeting all sorts of people. My friends comment to me how I seem to know a weirdly diverse spectrum of people. I would like to meet a girl who likes the Ren Fest, movies, and can share in my more-geeky pursuits. Or at least tolerate and live with them. But she should, above all, be her own person.
I would also love to meet Alton Brown, Anthony Bourdain, Matsuharu Morimoto, Tom Collichio, & Robert Irvine.
Music:
The Smithereens, Kiss, Nightwish, Iggy Pop, Sisters Of Mercy, Bauhaus, The 69 Eyes, Love & Rockets, Dropkick Murphys, Jackdaw, Black 47, The Hives, The Cult.
I like 70s & 80s rock, as well as early metal, alternative/indie, and celtic-rock. Rockabilly is also not to be underestimated.
Movies:
Lord Of The Rings, Braveheart, Just about any Robin Hood story. Just got Flyboys on DVD (Its a pretty and fun WWI fighter pilot movie, if not terribly accurate.) and many more...I am the proud owner of a constantly expanding DVD collection. The Godfather I & II (III was terrible), Amadeus, and one of my Cult-Movie favorites - Streets Of Fire (Just got it on DVD).
Television:
Top Chef, Project Runway, Battlestar Galactica, Good Eats, Who Wants To Be A Superhero?, History Channel, Dirty Jobs, Deadliest Catch, Heroes, Anything with Gordon Ramsay (BBC versions are better than US versions),
Books:
I'm currently working my way thru all the James Bond novels. Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. Anything by David Sidaris. Microserfs, Just read 'The Making of a Chef' by Michale Ruhlman.
Heroes:
Some people I would consider heroes? Chuck Yeager (met him once), Pancho Barnes, Eddie Rickenbacker, Ben Franklin, Steve Wozniak, Bud Anderson (Met him once), Bob Hoover (and met him once).
