Wherever I need to go for a long, enjoyable talk with Jack Kirby over drinks.

I would go back in time, and change Wolverine's coloring for his first 20 appearences to puce and key lime. I would add a daisy logo to his chest, thereby killing his popularity and saving Marvel.

I would go back in time and prevent Judd Winick from writing greeen arrow....if I popped up in the tardis and told him his stories would cause sales to plummet and turn him into a comic book pariah after his awesome run on exiles....well..I'm sure he'd believe me and write some stories that didn't suck more than a vegas hooker......which is actually a story I'm suprised he didn't write in his make Ollie as much of a douchebag as possible direction

Assuming that "one day only" = 24 hours of my own personal time line...
First thing I'd do would be to head back to the Winterland Ballroom the night of December 15th, 1978, so I could be present for one of the greatest Bruce Springsteen concerts ever (with a little side trip to a couple months beforehand first to make sure I had a ticket!).
Then it would be back another decade or so to see Jimi Hendrix the night Martin Luther King was shot.
Then another decade or so before that for the Miles Davis Quintet...

Bring him a couple million dollars and tell him to keep going with Barry Ween.

I'm also assuming we're forbidden from interfering in major world events, otherwise my choices above are going to seem pretty trivial.

ACCTUALLY... a place to visit would be the back room of Max's Kansas City, circa 1971... Hopefully on a night that included Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Jackie Curtis, Candy Darling, Holly Woodlawn, Andrea Whips Feldman, and Larry Rivers on the guest list. I'm absolutely fascinated by that the Max's scene.
Then, I'd go watch John Coltrane play for the most transcendant muscial experience of my life.

November 5, 1955. Hill Valley. I want to see Marty make it home in person.
or seriously...
December 8, 1980. New York City, Central Park West, The Dakota. I would save John Lennon's life.

A little trip to Wikipedia tells me this is a Dr. Who thing, so at least I don't need to embarrass myself by asking what it is.
Let's see, assuming the 24 hours thing referenced earlier, I'd travel back to New York prior to WW1 and check out a few live performances of Vernon and Irene Castle, go back to 1995 and talk some sense into my 18-year-old self, or possibly the late 80's for the same purpose, head to 1988 or 89, whenever the remastered version of Lawrence of Arabia hit theaters and see it on the very big screen at a movie palace, and of course see the Beatles, Elvis, and Glen Miller live.

The Star Wars Universe baby! I'd be that Y-Wing that flies home with Luke and Wedge after destroying the Death Star.
And I'd have to have a blue colored lightsaber.

Oh, in that case, I'll be taking a nice little trip to the moon colony in John Varley's Nine Worlds universe.

I had no idea what it was either, Gilda. Don't worry :o
I would do something very similar, only travel back to 1999 and tell my 12 year-old self not to be afraid. I would go to Mexico, 1954 and see Frida Kahlo's final exhibition before she died. Then back to the early 1900's to watch Wilhem and Augusta Dioth walk off the boat and set up house.

It's o.k. Gail, I think we all want to be Elves at one point in our lives.
I'd settle for just nailing Legolas. That was one hot woman.

Yep. Fictional places are included as well. Go visit your little Hobbit friends if you want.
