This week, in honor of many of our staff flying to the AWP and CEA conferences, we asked our editors: Who would be your dream person to sit next to on a plane?
Andrea Wuorenmaa, Associate Nonfiction Editor
Axl Rose. Even though he probably wouldn't talk to me. I'd be playing it cool in my Gn'R T-shirt with my fan club badge.
Jason Teal, Associate Nonfiction Editor
Nicolas Cage in CON AIR. I always wanted to be in the pictures.
James Dyer, Associate Nonfiction Editor,
Nicolas Cage in FACE/OFF. Because I could eat a peach for hours.
Jason Teal, Associate Nonfiction Editor, Creative Nonfiction Sandusky, Ohio
Nicolas Cage in LEFT BEHIND. Free upgrade to first class/cockpit.
John LaPine, Associate Nonfiction Editor
Either Oprah, or Tina Fey as Liz Lemon. I would also accept Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.
James Dyer, Associate Nonfiction Editor
Nicolas Cage in KICKASS. Free upgrade to being tied to a chair and lit on fire.
Jason Teal, Associate Nonfiction Editor
Nicolas Cage in ADAPTATION. Double your pleasure, double your fun.
Hayley Fitz, Associate Fiction Editor
Nicolas Cage in THE WEATHER MAN. People would throw food at him and then I would eat it.
Jason Teal, Associate Nonfiction Editor
Nicolas Cage in SNAKE EYES. Then we could play aisle craps.
Jacque Boucher, Spoken Word Poetry
Nicolas Cage in NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS because I want to learn that the real Book of Secrets was love the whole time.
Deziree’ Brown, Associate Poetry Editor
Kerry Washington! I would burst into tears and spontaneously combust, but it would be worth it.
Jason Teal, Associate Nonfiction Editor
Nicolas Cage in RAISING ARIZONA because I only ever wanted a son.
James Dyer, Associate Nonfiction Editor
Nicolas Cage in VAMPIRES KISS because, let's face it, we're all at the point in the semester where we'd rather be wandering around New York City begging strangers to stab us in the chest with a 2 x 4.
Jacque Boucher, Spoken Word Poetry
Nicolas Cage in THE CROODS because, even though we all want to rebel against the established order, we all know that the safest thing to do is stay inside the cave.
