Neil Gaiman (writer of the Sandman, among many other good things), Robert Jordan (writer of the Wheel of Time series), John Chambers (the guy who's responsible for most of White Wolf's Exalted stuff, if I recall correctly), Dane Cook and my neighbors pet cat Misty.
Gaiman could tell freaky stories to keep us interested, Jordan could tell me how he wanted the Wheel of Time to end, John Chambers could regale me with tales of how awesome Alchemicals are going to be, Cook for the jokes of course and Misty because she's adorable and petting her always makes me feel happy.
