Top 5 People I’d like to have Lunch with…

Bob FranquizUncategorized

My wife had the idea of who are the top 5 people I’d like to have lunch with (This list if all people who are living.  the next list will be people who aren’t living) , so here’s the list…

#5 – John Mayer – John is amazing song writer, and an extremely talented guitar player.  He seems like a cool guy to hang with. 

#4 – Theo Epstein – If you don’t know who this is, you obviously don’t live anywhere near Boston.  Theo is the general manager of the Boston Red Sox.  I met Theo in Tampa and have a picture with him.  It was a thrill!  He is the architect of the 2004 World Series team.  In Boston, when someone says they study "Theology", they are referring to Theo’s roster moves.   

#3 – Erwin McManus – Erwin had to be one of the most original thinkers in the church today.  I’ve read every one of his book more than once.  His passion for lost people and for God show every time he opens his mouth.  He seems like the kind of guy who would pay for lunch too…

#2 – Steven Speilberg – Imagine spending an hour talking to one of the greatest storytellers of our time.  It would be awesome!  I’d have about 1,000 questions on storytelling, building up suspense, drawing a crowd in, bringing characters to life.  I’d even pay for this one! 

And #1 – George Lucas – I’d love to talk to George Lucas about how he came up with the idea for Start Wars.  I’d try to impress him with how much dialogue from all the films I have memorized and how well it has served me throughout my life.  I could talk to him about maybe getting a role as an extra in some upcoming Star Wars related project.  I’ve been told that I remind people of Jabba the Hutt.  So who knows!
