I'd like to meet:
People I already know-- extending myself, maybe, to people who already know the people I already know.
Also, if you know who Nick Bantock, Chris Ware or Nan Goldin are and why they matter without Googling it then I might want to meet you, too.
Music:
I don't think there's enough space for all that. Lately, it's Dropkick Murphys, Sufjan Stevens, Ben Folds, Tupac, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dresden Dolls, They Might Be Giants, Nina Simone, Rolling Stones, Ludacris, Lynard Skynard, BareNaked Ladies, Damien Rice, Iron and Wine, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald. Summer-ish music. And always, always, always Michael Penn, Chion Wolf, Tom Waits, and Nick Cave.
Movies:
Documentaries, gangster movies (either type), zombie movies, Bollywood, horror/ thriller, anything by Christopher Guest or Hitchcock.
Television:
Six Feet Under (RIP), Sopranos, Deadwood (RIP), L- Word, Arrested Development (RIP), Lost, The Office, any old B&W Twilight Zone episodes I can catch, Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
Books:
Margaret Atwood, Renee French, E.L. Doctorow, Anton Chekov, Mark Dunn, T.C. Boyle, Joyce Carol Oates, Daniel Handler/ Lemony Snicket, Chuck Palahniuk, Harry Crews, Richard Russo for fiction. For nonfiction it's boatloads of history, anatomy, psychology, sociology, and criminology textbooks. Also photography books- manuals as well as images.
