Contest Update!!! You can still win tickets!!!

My my my! What a response!!!

Just when I figure that nobody actually reads my brilliance, the emails come pouring in. It seems all you have to do is offer a prize and the peckers and crackers come crawling out of the crax in the floorboards...

You should be ashamed of your avaricious selves.

But on the other hand...it is a great idea to give away a pair of tickets to the upcoming Gourmet Food and Wine Expo by forcing people to actually evaluate what's important to them. So...to prime the pump I've added the Deaconess' list to this blog. She's not eligible to win, but we've been given tickets already because we're in the sacred circle of wine.

For those of you who are unaware of the Deaconess' genius, here's her ideal dinner guest list:

Leo Tolstoy

John Lennon

Seth MacFarlane

Francis Schaeffer

Ambrose Bierce

Coco Chanel

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Dorothy Parker

Henry David Thoreau

Margaret Atwood

So let's hear from the rest of you. Send me the 10 people you'd most like to invite for a fancy dinner replete with the lost art of conversation, great food and great wine. I'll be judging the results when the flood turns to a trickle.
