Choose 1 from all those essential trappings of a life well lived that the you might be able to exist upon for a whole year.

We are too pampered, but with the right economy we can live large.

note: lovers can't be the one your with- sorry but it's better that way. Also, Lovers must be among the living.

note: the drink must be non-alcoholic- don't worry, you can still have all the booze you want during the year, I'm just interested in favorite beverages i. e., water, coffee, tea, juice and such like.

note: The cd means 1 disc therefore no Wagner's Ring Cycle.

note: The gig is to take place near your location and the performer must be among the living.

Me:

Madeline Stowe
Death Valley
1984
"Smile" by Boris (Japan Import)
Sean Of The Dead
Liars
Raspberries
Leonidas Pralines
Peligrino
