Fake Steve Jobs, Live In the Valley

Dan Lyons, AKA Fake Steve Jobs is doing a reading of his new book, Options, in the valley. We're at Kepler's bookstore in Menlo Park—the most important book reading, being so close to the mothership. I recognize an Apple employee in the crowd. Woz is here, and when I approached him to say hello, he moved aside, modestly, as if I was looking for a book behind him and he was in the way. No. "Woz," I said, " I'm a big fan of your work." He smiled, but I could tell he was already prepping to introduce Lyons, minutes away from being on stage. It's starting, and OMG...Woz just introduced FSJ and awarded him an official Apple black mock turtleneck...and Owen Thomas from Valleywag, AKA Mr. Bigglesworth is sitting front row, ready to taunt him. Fiction just slammed into reality and my mind just asploded. (Video of this here)UPDATED More »
