Who would you invite for a dinner party. Ten well known individuals-must be still living and not be completley obscure. mine would include.. Jimmy Carter Conde Rice James Baker Brian Greene -(string theory guy) Peter Nowak Willie Nelson Gunther Grass Jack Welch Milton Freidman Bill Russel Greene and Nowak are borderline obscure , but still can be passed off as "known".. anyone who watches Nova will recognize "string theroy" and this is bigsoccer.. so Nowak is well known here
1.George W. Bush 2.Maria Sharapova 3.Ashley Olsen (Mary-Kate is the crackhead anorexic one, right?) 4.Tommy Franks 5.John McCain 6.Ted Nugent 7.Liam and Noel Gallagher 8.Terrell Owens 9.Tony Blair 10.Jean-Claude Van Damme
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to obie again. Seriously, though, I think I'd have the following: 1. Pol Pot 2. Adolph Hitler 3. Josef Stalin 4. Idi Amin 5. Charles Manson 6. Vlad Dracul Topic of conversation: "What the hell was all that about, anyway???"
Provided that Gates has the clout to get you in. Maybe you could sit at the bar, or slum across the hall at Masa. My wife asked me if we could go to Per Se for her birthday at the end of January. I told her it was either that or renovating our kitchen. She's mulling it over.
Hunter S Thompson James Carville Lee Atwater Machiavelli Teddy Roosevelt and just for sh!ts and giggles, Anna Nicole Smith.
At Le Bar Lyonnais downstairs in Le Bec Fin (or at a buy-out of the Basement Room at MOMO in London, I can't choose between the two), the following would order with me, off of the bistro menu: (1) George W. Bush (2) Jesus of Nazareth (next to Bush) (3) bell hooks (4) Judith Miller (5) Riane Eisler (6) Gabon President El Hadj Omar Bongo (7) Ward Churchill (8) Amy Goodman (9) Ann Coulter (next to Bush) (10) porn star Amanda Warren (next to hooks)
For future reference, did you call two months ahead at exactly 10 am, or did you luck out into some random date / time? Please do. Are you doing lunch or dinner?
1) George W. Bush 2) Gary Bettman 3) Jaques Chirac 4) Ariel Sharon 5) Nick Sakiewicz 6) Terry Macauliffe 7) And enough C-4 to take care of business
If you're prepared to be flexible (like changing your party to four, rather than two), you can get someting for 1.5 months in advance. However, calling really early does help, yeah. Dinner. Actually, now that I think about it, I might be able to get away with an expensed lunch there...............
Mike Tyson Al Bundy Tony Soprano Dema Kovalenko Ray Lewis Dr. Dre Rick Flair Suge Knight Lennox Lewis and Osama bin Laden After dinner we take turns kicking the sh!t out of Osama
Ten well-known individuals? That are still alive? It would be tough to come up with ten with whom the dinner would be peaceful, never mind that I'd enjoy dinner with. We'll try, though: Joschka Fischer Snoop Dogg Norah Jones Peter Camejo Starhawk Jim Collins Lawrence Ferlinghetti Medea Benjamin Rowan Williams (The Archbishop of Cantebury) Carly Fiorina
Jimmy Carter Ian MacKaye Max Bretos & Allen Hopkins (of course!) Pele Xzibit (why not, seems like a fun guy) Jesse Ventura Neil Armstrong I'd like to have added Christopher Reeve, but I'm a few weeks too late on that. On a sort of similar note, we had Adrian Cronauer (the real guy from "Good Morning Vietnam") over for dinner with my family right after the movie came out. That was interesting, he had many great stories.
I'd invite the cop Herr Fischer kicked in the head wearing jackboots and let him get a little pay-back come dessert-time. W. Powell The Dulles Brothers Eddie Murphy(circa 82) Thomas Edison Thomas Jefferson George Washington John Boyd Enrico Pullazzo
Ty Murray Jean-Luc Godard Cormac McCarthy Lee Kline (The Criterion DVD guy) Cate Blanchet Dwight Yoakum Bobby Fisher Paulina Rubio Bill Clinton Fidel Castro
