I'll go first.

3 options

Going back to 1964 to watch the Duke Ellington's Montreal show. Try to meet the man and the musicians. Hang around my city.
Go in the end of the 70s to meet my parents before they had kids. Grab a couple of beers and party with my young adults parents. See my uncles, etc. in their young time
Going to 1881 during the couple of days when Nietzsche wrote Zarathoustra. I want to discuss with guy even if he is supposed to be writing all day long. No consequence right.

What are yours?

So many bands I'd love to see! But that's somewhat small fry, so to speak, so ancient history, if I could travel to a different location also instantaneously (guess that'dhave to be possible or else it'dbe pretty boring or hard work!). Ancient Egypt, Greece, Central America Mayans... but then, are WE immune from consequences also?! Free from contracting diseases, free from being sacrficed to a god or getting enslaved?! Can we communicate with them?! Dinosaurs would also be awesome, if immunity was guaranteed....chomp!

Or perhaps just see my dad again :)
