I'd like to meet:

i just like meeting people. i like having a beer with people i've just met. it's harder to be apathetic towards people at large when you know several from everywhere you go. Sure, there's definitely people I'd love to meet in particular but sometimes the surprises and weird, chance encounters are the best memories.

And, of course, I'd like to meet the good people associated with. . .

Heroes:
