Meeting the Woz at the IPhone launch party
The rumor was that the iPhone launch party will top all WWDC parties this week. Yeah great job guys! I referring to the guys from toucharcade.com and macheist.
This is really the party to be at. Golden tickets, taco line, that got all the people talking. I was cool enough to get a golden ticket which means I got in at the priority queue. Yeah there's a damn queue even if you have a golden ticket.
But hey, it's all good since the party needed greeters to greet the VIP, Steve Wozniak. Steve showed up in a limo and I got a picture. You think that's cool? Read on.
I got in pretty quickly since I was the first few in the golden ticket line. First guy I wanted to talk to is Woz. Yeah he was surrounded by geeks from all directions. The opportunity came when he was walking outside to the lobby to chill out and get some air. He saw our rockem sockem robots and was all excited. Everyone whose old enough to know this classic tabletop game personally just becomes a kid instantly.
Steve and Janet were both extremely nice people and we got to play rockem sockem. We told them about smackBOTS and Steve got his hands on my iPhone and had a great time. Woah, that is the best reward I got for working on smackBOTS. What else could top Steve Wozniak playing your game at the iPhone launch party! So yeah iPhone launch is the best party ever for WWDC 09.
