In no particular order:

Virginia Woolf. What a mind!

Johann Sebastian Bach. I wouldn't even care whether or not he said anything interesting. I would just want to bask in his presence.

Hildegarde von Bingen. An unsurpassed mystic and polymath who in the 11th century ruled Belgium, wrote astonishingly beautiful music including a wonderfully convincingly work about the superiority of women, and had girlfriends.

Louis Sullivan, as long as he was sober.

Alma Mahler. She had Gustav Mahler, Oskar Kokoshka, Walter Gropius, and Franz Werfel. 'Nuff said.

Michelangelo and DaVinci together, as long as no young boys were present.

Emma Stebbins. The first woman to get a major sculpture commission in the U.S., and leader of the, (ahem), Rome Amazons, a community of expat American women sculptors based just outside Rome in the 1850s. I want to meet any historic women who biographers describe as having an 'unconventional lifestyle'.
