I'd like to meet:


Meet in person? Some absent friends and relatives...who are gone forever. I can't hang out with every band I do artwork for and I don't want to meet every person I'm in touch with over the net.
There's always an exception to every rule, though. So...

[The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club]
