It seems cruel to revive an alcoholic just to get him drunk again, but, I'd love to share a few with Capote.

Not beer, but I'd like to have a whiskey with James Ellroy.

Tucker Max. The beer would turn into a few more, then a few shots, then I would be laying in a field naked tied to a goat and not knowing what happened the night before.

This one was a bit of a stumper for me! But, after careful thought and consideration, I think I would have to go with Joss Whedon. You just have to know that the guy is funny as hell after a couple of drinks. I'd try to get him to sing.

What about the self proclaimed "New York Times Bestseller" --- SNOOKIE! I bet if you had a few beers with her, she would probably return the favor.

Well I wish I could go back in time and have a beer with Kurt Vonnegut. I think that would be the single most entertaining night of my life. But, since I cannot I have to go with my favorite author, David Sedaris. Man, what I wouldn't give to be able to knock back a few with him. He could teach me so much, and I wouldn't have to write him fan mail.

Peace and Love,
D

Having beer with Hunter Thompson would turn into some wild shenanigans.

As a poet myself, I would love to have a sit down with the great William Shakespeare. If other poets would be a possibility, I think having a conversation with either Frost or Hughes would be very interesting.

For me it would have to be with the late-great rhetorical playwright John Osborne. He would get out of it on Champagne and make peppery comments about all and sundry - and within all that there would doubtless be some nagging home truths about our contemporary lives too.

Failing that, I feel that Ian Banks would make quite a jovial drinking companion: there's a man on the side of the people, who knows his Whisky too.

If you mean Iain Banks, the Scots author, I'm right there with you!!!!!

I had a nice visit (though brief) with Clive Barker at a book signing. I'd like to have a beer with him. Also, I'd like a heart to heart with Shakespeare (I'd ask him if her really wrote those plays). Stephen King's head must be amazing - I'd love to spend some time with him. Ray Bradbury is such a genius. I'd love to have a nice long meal with him. Dorothy Parker and Oscar Wilde would be fun to hang out with as would Truman Capote and F. Scott Fitzgerald. This list could get quite long. Nobel winner Jose Saramago would be good and William Golding and Poe. Many many more but that is a start...

Dorothy Parker and Oscar Wilde ... now that would be some interesting combination. I'd certainly love to be a fly on the wall for that drinking session. :lol:
