Chuck Close spoke at my graduation ceremony and if I hadnt been so hungover I wouldve really enjoyed it, because I LOVE his work.

Of course, Chuck Close's selection is extra special since he'll be carrying the torch while in his wheelchair...good for him!

Definitely, but I think all of them sound really interesting. It's a great snapshot of people in the NY metro area.

Jameson Gong sounds really interesting: "Jameson Gong, New York, NY: Jameson, a Chinatown native, is a community activist focusing on the revitalization of Lower Manhattan and founder of chinatownnyc.com. He is a member of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation�s advisory committee to promote tourism in the area; he is president of the NY Chapter of the Organization of Chinese Americans, the nation�s premiere Asian civil rights and advocacy group; and he is a stand-up comedian."
