Be the top executive of a bid company with a product desired by Apple and you get the invitation a.s.a.p.!

Although he likes to be vegetarian, the last years problems with food could made him change his eating habits… or doctors did for him.

Alright fine, I’ll up my bid to $499 plus $30 per month. And how would it not be enjoyable? Even if El Jobs was batshit-crazy the whole time, it would fun as hell!

We’re all quite aware that SJ is nuts, but most visionaries are. Conformity precludes greatness.

When exactly did that happen? Neither NYMag, not Prince give any indication whether it was pre- or post-keynote event (most probably post-).

@lmasanti
This was New York, New York…. he arrived in a top hat to blend in with the natives.

@gus2000
Add a couple zeros to your bid, before fullstop, preferably. I wouldn’t imagine this to be a very enjoyable dinner, though.

I’m sensing a “Dinner With Steve” eBay auction for charity…I bid $200.

I’m surprised with his vegan diet he was able to find something to eat at a restaurant.
