I would settle for Rupert Grint! But that's kind of gross!
To follow up on a previous post:
From the delivery reports so far, it looks like all of the deliveries are being made by celebrities who have something to do with what's being delivered. This is fair - if Dale Jarrett showed up on my doorstep, I believe my exact reaction would be, "Hey.... Guy in a Jumpsuit.... It's really amazing to actually meet you in person, Guy in a Jumpsuit. I'm a big fan of... whatever it is you do. Oh well. At least I got my Harry Potter book. Bye." But in something I read about the promotion, they said it would extend through 5pm on Saturday and specifically mentioned Harry Potter. I doubt they'd have Harrison Ford deliver Harry Potter, even if they do have similar first names. So instead, I send this message out to Alan Rickman: Watch yourself, dear. I may shoot out of the door and leap upon you, begging you to murmur sweet nothings in my direction.
(Note: This isn't even realistic, because if you look at the site, you'll notice all of the deliverees are in New York or California. Apparently celebrities can't be arsed to leave their home states, so those of us in the middle of the country will have to jump on hot corn-fed Midwestern UPS guys instead. Screw you, Coasts!)

It looks like the celebrities only deliver to places in their own hometown. Harrison Ford lives in Jackson Hole, and most of the rest live in and around L.A. So you just need to hope there's someone who lives in Ann Arbor. Who's the most famous person in A2? (Other than you, of course?)

I think I'll have to bank on Jeff Daniels. But I also think it's too late. Sigh. And I can't think of any Jeff Daniels movies I want. I don't really want an Iggy Pop, Kid Rock or Eminem CD either. Drat! I'm so picky!
What's the point of them going to their own home town? If you live in Jackson Hole, can't you just run into Harrison Ford at the grocery store anyway?

Hey, James Earl Jones has ties to AA...maybe he'll deliver Star Warseses for you.
Oh well, we don't have celebrities bringing the parcels or a wish list spree or any of the cool things here.
I really live in the wrong country. Or wrong continent for that matter.
I'm still closer to Alan Rickman than you are. Hee.
