Wow -- what a question. There are several I'd really like to meet -- no, make that more than several. But I imagine that Elena. would be great fun to talk to -- I'd like to sit on her balcony in Madrid and laugh and laugh and laugh. Then, a quick flight over to London, where I'd visit LongonGirl and see her Kitsch Korner. We'd invite Amanda Severn, and Paraglider, and any other folk around, to come spend the day wandering around the Inns of Court and learning about the history of that incredible area of London. Hmmm. Then a flight back down to Portugal to see funride, and on to see Iphigenia in France. We would drink hot chocolate and talk about all the books we've read. Next, down to South Africa, for a tour from Tonymac and history lessons on civil rights and jazzzzzz. Then? Manila, of course, to visit Cris A. and drink endless cups of coffee, talk about the world and its ills, which avatars are really which hubbers. . .and on to Australia, to see Ajcor, and who else is down under? the night owls -- the hubbers who are there while we're asleep. . .BlondePoet? Next: on to the West Coast of the US. Now lemme see -- who's there? GoldenToad, I think? But I'm not sure I want to visit LA, so we'd get all the West Coast hubbers to meet somewhere in the Pacific NorthWest, somewhere rural and uncluttered, with lots of sunshine for kids to play in. Then my geography is shot to hell: once it comes to the States in the "middle" of the country, I'm lost, but I would like to see Lita Sorenson and Christopher Reilly and Rochelle Frank, and CCRiter, and ProudMom, and who else? Tom Rubenoff, Jerrilee Wei, KCC Big Country. . . who am I missing? PGRundy of course! Aya Katz, Sally's Trove, C.S. Alexis. . .goodness, I'm exhausted. What was the question again? I know I'm missing some really important people -- RippleMaker: where are you? Well. Don't be offended if I left you out. We'd all go en masse (safety in numbers) and take Pest a care package of beer and pretzels.
