Guestlist

Douglas Adams – My favourite author, I have devoured everything he has written many times over. I’d ask him how the Salmon of Doubt was supposed to continue and end, and if he was ever really planning on a 6th Hitchhikers book.

Stephen Fry – I’ve always imagined that Stephen and I would get along fabulously, I’d really like to see if that’s true or not. If I could be friends with anyone on the planet, I’d choose him.

Philip K. Dick – I would love to hear him tell his own life story and how he felt about becoming a well known author in death, rather than in life.

Jakob Nielsen – A really nerdy choice, I know! I’d ask what direction he thought the web would take in the next 10 years and I’d also try to persuade him to give me a job.

Dr. Jennifer Preece – A researcher that I have referenced countless times, I would revel in the opportunity to tap into her social psychology and usability knowledge face to face.

Will Ferrell – I saw him “perform live” when he was at UCD and found him not only completely hilarious, but totally and utterly charismatic. I could listen to his anecdotes for hours.

Ellen Page and Tina Fey – Because every dinner party needs funny, sexy, women.

It’s taken me ages to post this, so I’m not sure if the following have already been Meme-ed, but I’m doing it anyway because I’d be most interested in reading Alexia, David and Tim‘s dinner party guestlists.
