Who I'd like to meet: writers, directors, actors, hot dog stand vendors, my real father, lighting and sound techs, a pony, audience members, that red headed girl who was buying a danish in front of me at the local bakery that I probably should've introduced myself to after she said something about how she could hear the MC Chris coming through my iPod earbuds and how she really like him too, but I was dumb and just stared at the floor and said, "Yeah, he's pretty awesome," and when I looked back up, she taken her danish and left.
