Why I want to meet Rainbowshappen

I want to meet you because you cheered my Kimya Dawson entry!

The real reason I want to meet Rouenpucelle

Because there’s a suspiciously large amount of superfluous Hoffing going on round theses ‘ere parts recently, and I suspect she’s the perpetrator. Or at least, the inspiration.

Why I want to meet Peter Greenaway

I want to ask him when, oh when, will there be any possibility of getting ‘Prospero’s Books’ on DVD?

Please?

Why Lisa Simpson should want to meet me

My husband says I AM her. So I think maybe the real Lisa Simpson should put him straight on that.

A question I have about Dave McKean

How come every time I’m in the Café des Amis in Canterbury, which I’m told is one of his favorite stamping grounds (he designed their rather cool menus and postcards), he never ever coincidentally walks in? Not fair!
;)

Why I want to meet Nick Bantock

This man undoubtedly has stamps on his passport from places that don’t even exist…but should. And has come back from all of them with a suitcase full of bizarre souvenirs. I’d like to pry some travelers’ tales from him over coffee.

Why I admire Sabrina Ward Harrison

I just got ‘Spilling Open’ as a Christmas gift. Oh, wow.

This woman’s journals are STUNNING. She not only isn’t afraid to let herself – her thoughts, feelings, everything – out on the page, but her artwork is amazing. And to have done work like that at such a young age!

Just reading her stuff makes me want to go off and paint…

The real reason I want to meet Kurt Cobain

I wasn’t into Nirvana when they were around. I was just living a totally different kind of life and I dismissed that music as what the kids were listening to. Not me.

A few years ago, when I was in the middle of a bout of depression, I suddenly picked up Nevermind and started listening to it. And it was Kurt’s music that got me through that dark place and out the other side.

Thanks, Kurt.

Why I admire Regina Spektor

She has the most amazing voice. I first heard “Soviet Kitsch” when it came out, but didn’t buy it till waaay later…I love her music!

Oh yes…my husband says she was sitting in the Croc when we went in to buy a T-shirt on our last day in Seattle. She was supposed to play that night but we’d decided not to go because of catching the plane home. And I didn’t recognize her…but hubby says she smiled at him. So he’s in there! LOL!

A question I have about Krist Novoselic

(TO Krist, actually, bearing in mind he’s not just a kick-ass bass player but seems to have more sensible things to say about politics than a lot of the people who are actually in politics.)

Hey, Krist. I read your book and I’m wondering. When you’ve finished fixing YOUR broken democracy…can you come tell us how we can fix OURS please? Cheers.
