I'd like to meet:

just real human beings (most of the people around ARE NOT HUMANS just Idiots...), especially Thelemites from all over the world.

Deutsche Mitglieder des OTO will ich nochmal auf folgende Veranstaltung hinweisen. Ihr wisst wo ihr euch melden müsst für mehr Informationen :D

Music:

Gothic Rock (Sisters, Bauhaus, Samsas Traum, Love like Blood, The Cassandra Complex, ASP...), Wave (Depeche Mode, Deine Lakaien, 80s Classics...), EBM (Fixmer/McCarthy, Nitzer Ebb, Spetsnaz, F242...), Hardcore (Agnostic Front, Life of Agony, Underdog, 108, Shelter, Yuppicide, SFA...), Punk, Metal, Alternative/INDIE ( good Indie is always a nice choice 2 eg Postal Service/Death Cab for Cutie or Bloc Party), Medieval Stuff like Faun, Nenia Calladhan, Qntal), Drum and Bass (Roni Size, Makai aka Kabuki, The Green Man), Industrial and Elektro (Skinny Puppy, oldschool like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, Wumpscut), Dancehall, even some Jazz (Miles Davis and a bottle of wine rules...), but mainly good old sinister and dark independent rock and electronic music ("goth"). Best liveacts I have seen: Samsas Traum, ASP, Pink Turns Blue, New Model Army.

Movies:

Life of brian, donnie darko, all zucker-abrahams-zucker comedies, rambo (cause I always almost wet my pants, best action comedy ever), Dancer in the Dark, LOTR, Blade Runner and all Star Trek Movies, Series, good animes etc. But I do not watch many movies.

Television:

Alltime classics:
star trek, futurama, simpsons, the international news on cnn, nbc, ntv etc (no joke I like to see what happens around the world...), documentations (especially historical ones) , animes and generally asian "trash-pop-culture". During the last 1 1/2 years I rediscovered Doctor Who. I almost forgot how great this show is. Thanx BBC!
Right now:
Heroes (just great!) & Torchwood (Doctor Who-Spin Off)

Books:

Dragonlance-Series; Drow-Serie; LOTR; religious books eg bhagavad gita and vedic stuff in general, quran and sufi poets, buddhist stuff, comperative religious studies are important to me ; thelemic Books (not just Crowley); esoteric and magickal books eg Israel Regardie, Lon Milo DuQuette, Dion Fortune, Quentin Tindale, Phil Hines, Peter Carroll, Ramsey Dukes etc; Philosophy, especially socialist and libertarian ("anarchist") old school philosophy like Michail Alexandrowitsch Bakunin and Prince Pjotr Alexejev Kropotkin but also Hegel, Kant and all the other classic Philosophers; Terry Pratchett; H.P. Lovecraft; Brian Lumley; Neil Gayman; Iain M. Banks etc etc... A lot, I read about 1500 pages per month...

Heroes:

Heroes have the tendency to die young or in a tragical way :D so there are really no heroes. But I'd say the following people were musical, religious and philosophial "influences":
Robert Smith, Andrew Eldritch, Jose Buenaventura Durruti, Che Guevara, Edward Alexander "Aleister" Crowley (the worlds last great spiritual teacher), my friends and family, and MOST IMPORTANT: MY GIRLFRIEND! Well and myself of course *g*

Doctor Who about Aleister Crowley: 'lovely chap, if dreadfully misinterpreted, and a bit too fond of the old laudanum'
