The Woz

Rob recently spotted Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak at a music festival in San Francisco. Here is his account of “The Woz” sighting:

A few weeks ago I attended the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in Golden Gate park. If you have never been it’s a great weekend of music and it’s free! The last band I wanted to see was a project band called Mondo Cane. Mike Patton of Faith No More fame heads up the band which features 60s big-band music all in Italian.
The show was amazing and on the way home I heard people talking about Steve Woz cruising around on a Segway. Soon we spotted him and as we walked by I yelled out a tagline from the 280ZX commercial:

“How is that Z, Steve?”
He yelled back, “It’s Awesome!“

This made my day! I debated for a moment and had to go back for a picture. We started talking and then he “Segwayed” (pun intended) into a Prius talk.
It was time for this Z guy to move on.


It was really cool to meet another famous guy touched by the Power Of The Z.
It might be time to reach out to Steve and have Nissan approach him with a Leaf.
Long live the Z
