I'd like to meet:
Intellectuals of all persuasions; musicians with soul, artists with attitude, outdoor geeks with some serious adrenaline to spread around, potential running partners for a go around Greenlake (who can preferably hold a nice conversation once sinking into the zone); left-of-centers who actually give a rat's ass about what is happening in Darfur, bloggers/politickers who want to back issues with action, and other such passionate individuals who will make me feel at once stupid and enlightened. I especially like people who buck the materialistic culture for a simpler and more sane way of living.
