I just got back from Pixar! I won a contest to go visit and I ended up getting to interview and meet a lot of amazing animators (including a guy who worked on ratatouille and wall-e, ed catmull [co-founder of pixar], and ben burtt [worked on sound for starwars and indianna jones]). Apparently Steve Jobs was there but I didn't see him. However I did see John Lasseter! I also got a tour and picked up some awesome swag. Not to mention the news crew gave me tickets to an advance showing of Hancock.

I can't remember everyone I met. I remember Austin Madison, though, because I interviewed him.
AND I KNOW! He was wearing this awesome hawaiian shirt a la ratatouille. It took me a minute to realize it was Ed Catmull (he just introduced himself as Ed haha)

Duuuude I suspect that thats all he and Lasseter wear. Whenever there's a photo or interview of them, THATS WHAT THEY WEAR. XD
I'm going to see Wall-E tonight! IN IMAX. God I love thursday.

Actually I need to go shower and get ready.

Lasseter was wearing a polo shirt today, I think.
Actually, in the gift store (which they just so happened to have put in LAST WEEK) they have a Wall-E hat that's worn and torn because Lasseter demanded it (he apparently normally hates those types of hats but he liked it as a concept for a wall-e hat) and he was wearing it when he walked by haha
also, I won't be able to see it until tomorrow.
