I would happily invite Geoffrey Baer over to drop some science. I also love Carol Marin.

Rick Kogan and Rick Bayless. I'd make beer can chicken.

The guy in front of Old Navy with the mic. He's been doing that for decades. Talk about optimism.

living or dead?
I'll go with a mix:
Studs Terkel, Geoffrey Baer, Tom Skilling, Richard Nickel.
does Bill Murray qualify? probably also Harold Ramis.
I'd make coleslaw and guacamole, and have some burgers, brats, and seitan for the grill.

What's the guy's name that dresses in the crazy suits by Marina City? Him.
Billy Dec because he could host for me. Obama & Oprah because why not? Michael Jordan, Michael Ditka, and the White Sox for the sports fans. Billy Corgan, Buddy Guy, and Common for some entertainment and good conversation.Kanye is not invited.
Other randoms: Dan Savage, Dave Eggers, Roger Ebert, Rahm Emmanuel. I didn't include deceased but I'd love Michael Crichton and Philip K Dick.

Michelle Obama, her daughters, and Bo.

In lieu of Richard Nickel, it might be elucidating to invite Amy Jacobson.

Derrick Rose; after all, it would be rude to NOT invite him, since I'll need him to pay for ALL the meat, food, liquor, the DJ, etc.

Actually for the next days left overs, on deck will be The Honorable Derrick, IL. State Representative, known as being a "strong voice for the 10th Leg. District"
