So, Fake Steve Jobs, aka Forbes Editor Dan Lyons, is available for our
dates, and his price is within budget ? 15-20k + travel.

IMO, he is hilarious and right on message (lambasting Apple, SUNW and MSFT
for closed thinking stupidness).

Here are some links to give you an idea of what he is about:

http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/
http://www.thelavinagency.com/usa/danlyons.html (his abstracts seem bang
on)
Amazon Book: http://tinyurl.com/24mpct

The problem is that he does not have a public speaking track record ? there
are no references and no available video clips. In fact, part of the
negotiation on price would be if we would be willing to provide video clips
from his keynote (if we?re recording things). So there is some risk.

The reason he has no references is that he is just getting started ? it was
only made public who he is on August 5th ? and he just signed up with the
speaking agency.

Here is a vid from a press interview he did after he was ?outed?:

We?re going to ask around to see if any of our PR contacts know Dan
personally and if they think it could work out.

Thoughts?
