LinkedIn Q&A Event | Real Guy Kawasaki interviews Fake Steve Jobs
Have you ever wondered what goes in the mind of Fake Steve Jobs? On November 6th, LinkedIn will be hosting a live Q&A session with senior editor at Forbes and popular tech blogger, Dan Lyons (of “Fake Steve Jobs” fame), which will be moderated by Guy Kawasaki, former Chief Evangelist at Apple and co-founder at Truemors (with questions from LinkedIn users).
Further details below:
* LinkedIn Q&A Event | Confessions of Fake Steve Jobs
* Date & Time: November 6 @ 6 pm.
* Venue: Computer History Museum, 1401 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View, CA 94043
(Map it)
* RSVP: The event is open to all but there is only limited seating, so hurry up and RSVP.
* Ask Fake Steve Jobs a question: Even if you can’t make it to the event, Guy Kawasaki would like to know what you’d ask Fake Steve Jobs if you could (via LinkedIn Answers).
Dan Lyons is currently on a book tour to promote his recently released book “Option$”, which the New York Times says reads like “The Devil Wears Mock Turtlenecks”.
“Options” is the outgrowth of a blog that Mr. Lyons, a senior editor at Forbes and a novelist, started in the summer of 2006, at fakesteve.blogspot.com. The book weaves the blog’s greatest hits into a cohesive narrative that enfolds recent events at Apple, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into alleged accounting irregularities (backdated options), and the release of the iPhone. (Source: New York Times)
New York Times’ Liesl Schillinger calls “Mr. Lyons’s portrait hilarious and eerily specific; you get the feeling he planted a spycam in one of Mr. Jobs’s mock turtles” and Entertainment Weekly’s John Simons calls “the narrator of this dead-tree account so textured and real that even his most idle thoughts amuse.”
Join us on Nov 6 @ 6 pm at the Computer History Museum, to find out more about the legend of Fake Steve Jobs, the real Guy Kawasaki and related topics on technology that all Silicon Valley cube dwellers will find fascinating. For those of you not in the Bay Area, no worries, we’ll be live streaming the event. Stay tuned for more details.
Let the LinkedIn Sessions begin.

Mario,
Are there any plans to film the event, or parts of it? For those of us on the other coast (where FSJ hails from, incidentally) this historic meeting would be a shame to miss. Even something rudimentary as a home-made video posted on YouTube would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Roman
