I talked with noted author, blogger, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki this evening.  Allow me to explain.

I was at the Ice Oasis in Redwood City this afternoon taking photos of a Stanford Ice Hockey Club game.  I had all of the big lenses and camera bodies with me, so I was pretty conspicuous.  As the game entered its final minutes, a guy walked over to where I was shooting.

“Are you here for this game?” he asked.

“The Stanford game?  Yeah.”

“Ah.  So you’re not here with USA Today?”

“Nope, sorry.”

“OK.  Thanks.”

Then he walked away.  Yup, that was the extent of the “conversation.”

I instantly recognized him as Guy Kawasaki, but I didn’t see a reason to point that out.  I think that pitching a startup idea wouldn’t have gone over well right then.

Guy appears to play ice hockey in one of the leagues at the Ice Oasis, and it seems that one of his games just happened to be scheduled after the Stanford game.  I stuck around to watch some of Guy’s game to satisfy my curiosity.

Sure enough, another photographer showed up and started taking photos of Guy and his team.  I suppose we can expect a story in USA Today sometime soon.
