I don't think of Brian Blessed or Tim Curry as obscure, just not A or B list. Or maybe just out of action on TV or the big screen. They are primarily character actors.
Curry plays a great comedic villain and Blessed is known for his Black Adder and Flash Gordon roles.

I would go to a party with all of them. I have a feeling it'd be pretty entertaining. I don't think I'd call them obscure though.
I think I'd like Anthony Head at my party. I know someone who's gone drinking with him and apparently he's incredibly charming and entertaining.

Well if this were a Halloween party back in the 90's, definitely Angus Scrimm.
Hmmmm...

For me there are three. Richard O'Brian. Brian Blessed. Tim Curry. Don't ask me why but I think that would be, for me, the most awesome party ever. I know the first two are very down to earth, heck Brian Blessed even Gave his voice for a fan made prototype Sat Nav (watch to the end, hopefully it shall amuse you) |
And I would love to have all 3 of them to dinner. And that Sat Nav thing is gold. Saw it a while ago and loved it.

I love music, and those three are responsible for some of my favorite groups and songs.

Yes I meant Richard O'Brien, my mistake on that.
True they aren't obscure but generally meant just not megastars, to be fair I'd rather have Richard O'Brien, Tim Curry and Brian Blessed at a party than any of the big hollywood stars, I just reckon they'd have more interesting stories to tell.
Though I have a feeling I would have to provide earplug for people after Brian gets done drinking, the man is LOUD but that is why we love him.

As for my guests, I'd probably pick Frank Welker, Julian Barratt, and Tommy Wiseau.

I know Linda Cardellini isn't exactly obscure, but she is beautiful, and I want her at my party.

Definately Pianist/Keyboardist Cori Jacobs, who's generally unknown to most people, but who's credit is listed with many many big name artists and associated with many top chart songs. We used to be great friends in Junior High School, but have since lost touch except on Facebook.
Also, less obscure, Grace Park and Katharine Isabelle cause they're the hotness, and I have a huge crush on them.
As well as porn stars Nautica Thorn and Sasha Gray cause they come off as fun to hang with...not in a sexual way....more like we could totally be friends.
Not at all obscure, but Kevin Bacon...cause I really want to do this with him
For the best conversation, or the one featuring the most voice, Hank Azaria,Tom Kenny, and Billy West

I think that Jessica Alba and Ashlynn Brooke would be fun to hang out with at a party - lol

To be honest, I would like the see what happens if William Shatner, Bill Nighy, and Christopher Walken were all in the same conversation together. The war of the unusual speech patterns.
Obscure celebrity is kind of a contradiction. I'm going to go with a couple of people who aren't obscure in the geek/nerd community but outside of it I suspect you'd get more than a few "who?" responses to their names and then someone who is obscure but has a very well known, if not A-list, alter ego.
I think it would be fun to hang out with Bruce Campbell, Felicia Day, and Cassandra Peterson.

For me, it would be the Nostalgia Critic. (Eh, I know he's only a web celebrity, but he's the only one I can think of atm.)

Of course the Ninja from Ask The Ninja!
Hudson Leick. The lady who played Callisto in Xena.

Can't happen. If those three were in the same conversation, a singularity of awesome would form, which would force the universe to collapse on itself, thus destroying all that is and ever was. So the universe will actively prevent that from ever happening. Entire continents or planets might explode just to stop it.
