Today as I was leaving Moscone West to head on over to Moscone South, I noticed a group of people at the corner, one of the women had an Apple badge that said Events (not an expo badge, but a permanent one); then I saw that she had an Exhibitor VIP badge holder for the Macworld Expo. I thought it was interesting, but continued walking. As I was waiting for the light to change so I could cross I heard some commotion behind me and saw Jesus, I mean Steve Jobs, in that group of people crossing the street with me. I’m kind of surprised that no one else even noticed or didn’t say anything. With so many Mac fans absorbed in the reality distortion field, I expected some type of uproar.
I continued walking and went on my way. I have no idea where Steve and his Entourage went.
I had a similar experience with Steve. I was actually at MacWorld and he was coming from the Keynote into the exhibit hall, the security guard would not allow Steve in because he didn’t have a badge, one of his staff said, do you know who this is, the response was, I don’t care, he doesn’t have a badge. About 30 seconds later Steve had a badge on that didn’t say Steve Jobs (some staffer) and was allowed in. The security guard wasn’t there when I can back from the bathroom. 🙂
Ok ya, Greg…. that was a story I have heard repeated about ten times and is some Apple lore. No doubt it happened, but definitely doubt it happened when you were standing there….
🙂
Nice try though.
