I love brunch. It’s
the perfect meal, in my opinion.
Sometimes people talk about the top five (or however-many) people they would like to have
dinner with, but I always imagine mine would be brunch. And there would be way more
than five people there (18 actually). And some of them might be fictional
characters…
Here are the 18 people I would most like to have brunch with.
Dead people:
1. Alexander Hamilton
First secretary of the Treasury and a generally brilliant man.
2. Thaddeus Stevens
Groundbreaking egalitarian and congressman.
3. Thomas Cromwell
Minister to Henry VIII who was really crafty but came to a bad end anyway.
Fictional Characters:
4. Buffy
The Chosen One. Look it up. Slayer, The.
5. Arya Stark
Totally badass and independent girl.
6. Luna Lovegood
Whimsical free-spirited witch.
Real, living people:
7. Joss Whedon
Creator of so many wonderful nerdy shows and fantastic characters.
8. David Cronenberg
Director of such gems as The Fly, Dead Ringers, and A History of Violence
9. Ze Frank
Collaborative creator and video maker extraordinaire.
10. Stephen Fry
Actor, author, and comedian. Sometimes I like to pretend we
are related.
11. David Mitchell
Very
dry-witted British comedian and overall nerd.
12. Geena Davis
Actress, activist, athlete, and awesome lady.
13. John Sayles
Quietly brilliant director of Passion Fish, Brother From
Another Planet, and Lone Star.
14. Lena Dunham
Writer/ star/ producer of Girls and the voice of our
generation (or at least a voice of a generation)
15. Felicia Day
Creator of the Guild and general nerd enthusiast.
16. Tom Stoppard
Genius playwright behind Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are
Dead and Shakespeare in Love
17. Hillary Clinton
Future president of the United States (fingers crossed)
18. Richard Dawkins
Evolutionary biologist and author of The God Delusion.
Now to sort out the seating chart…
Who would be at your fantasy brunch?
