I met Steve Wozniak!

Yeah! So I go out to pick up a bowl of soup and some crackers for dinner and I see a friend of mine. She’s getting her food wrapped up to-go and I ask where she’s off to.She tells me that Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, is speaking in a little bookstore downtown to promote his new book! Now, I either had two choices.. I could go back to my room and eat my soup while watching Wheel-of-Fortune (some idiotic American game show where people guess the letters of a message for money) since my roommate commandeered the computer OR I could go see Woz. NATURALLY, anyone would have chosen the latter.

So we drive over to this rather dumpy looking bookstore near a liquor shop (lol, had to add that in for dramatic effect) and we find chairs close enough to be able to make a dash to the book-signing area when he finishes speaking. He’s a very interesting and funny guy. He talked about his history with Steve Jobs and the troubles he had finding money to fund his education and such..and the hilarious pranks both of them did. So, after an hour, he finishes. I stand in queue with my friend and we’re only about 7 people away from him. I WISH we had a camera because then I’d have proof, but you’ll have to take my word for it. Well, he signs my friend’s book (I would’ve bought a book but: 1. I’m low on money 2. They were sold out) and we tell him all sorts of nice and friendly things like, “Ohh, we enjoy Apple products and such..blah blah blah”. I mean, what else can you say? But, yeah, fun experience considering I had an altogether shitty day.

I shook his hand. Therefore, if you shook my hand..you’d be shaking his hand. Shake my hand. Now.
