Name a Catholic book that you want to share so much that you keep giving away copies: I don't give away books too often but a few that I have shared are Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis (Lewis wasn't Catholic, I know, but he was pretty darn close), The Passion of the Lamb by Fr. Tom Acklin, my spiritual director and True Devotion to Mary by St. Louis De Montfort.
Name a work of religious art you’d like to live with: I love the National Shrine in D.C. and could live there. I'm sure I'd feel the same about St. Peter's. I'm also a big fan of this statue in St. Vincent Basilica, right next door to my room:
Name your favorite Catholic artist: I love the Pieta, so Michelangelo. I'm also getting more and more into icons, so Andrei Rublev.
Name a work of Catholic fiction which has penetrated your real life: The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien is huge for me. Like I said before, C.S. Lewis is really good and almost Catholic.
Name your favorite Catholic Musicians: Matt Maher (amazing), Chris Padgett, and these various Catholics that I've played music with: the CCHS Band, Stickshift, JoshH, DanL, RobF, MikeK, RosendoD and many more that I can't remember.
Name your favorite musical: The Pirates of Penzance, West Side Story, and Wicked.
Who are the five Catholic (or Christian) bloggers whom you would most like to meet in person, but have not (yet)?
1. Cow - No, it's not just because he said that he'd like to meet me. He's a cool, hilarious guy who seems to be a very serious Catholic. I love reading his blog when it's hysterical and when it's very serious. We like similiar music, movies and books, and his taste for the random is something I always enjoy.
2. Closely related, Mark Shea - His blog first got me interested in blogging and he has never failed to bring us quality bloggage. Behind that, he appears to be a devoted father and a real Catholic.
3. All the seminarian bloggers that I've encountered - I think that would be a great conference to have: a big discussion with seminarians who blog.
I can't really decide on many more specific bloggers who I'd like to meet ... cause I'd like to meet most of them. Some of the bloggers whose blogs I read frequently and I'd like to meet: AmericanPapist, Dawn Eden, Amy Wellborn, and pretty much my whole sidebar ---->
Hmmm, who to tag? We'll go with Silverstride, Michael of 81594, and Mark of Rise and Pray.

A Catholic seminarian blogger convention, eh?
That would be an excellent idea; you could invite other bloggers (such as Dawn Eden or Mark Shea) to begin the day with a speech on some topic, and we could all discuss the topic afterwards, then have a nice lunch.
I would go to that... if it didn't interfere with other things.
And you would have met 3 of the 4 categories of bloggers you mentioned in this post!
Seriously, there are a lot of us out there ... another idea would be something like the Catholic Carnival .. but a seminarian version.
done! I think your seminarian conference idea's a good one. :)
