Get your Macworld Celebrity Checklist
Yesterday we shared some tips for preparing yourself for Macworld. Today, Joy of Tech adds one more must-have to the list: The Macworld Celebrity Checklist!Carry it around with you and use a marker to check off Steve, Woz, Uncle Walt, Andy Ihnatko (and his hat)...even The Reality Distorted Geek (warning: this could be you), The Schwag Whore and The Guy Who Still Runs Mac OS 8 (I used to work with that guy).
We can't help but wonder why there's no TUAW love on the list. Just look for the Hawaiian shirt.

That list is totally missing Sinbad and Robin Williams. I'm sure I'm forgetting more, but those guys are always there.

Wow. The self-importance of this blog and its writers is really becoming a disgrace.

"a disgrace?" Really?
If it's not clear Dave was joking, perhaps we need to add some sort of humor-sticker to the posts so everyone can be on the same page.

you know, i've attended MWSF for about the last decade, and i've never seen robin williams there. granted, i get glazed over after about the first day, and everyone tends to just blur. i've met woz, but not there -- if i ever met him there, i'd probably pass out from the overload of apple-related geek joy.

Where's Engadget favorite Veronica Belmont? Surely she'll be there all week.

I think they should just stay home. I'm just wishing for one thing, the announcement and availability of the SDK so I can build iPhone apps. That's all I want for xmas.

Dave, your performance this year will determine your eligibility to make next's years Celebrity Check List. :D
Yeah, it was really hard having to leave people out... but space and time dictated we had to. As the Jobs doth say..... Real artists ship.
Chris: FYI, Sinbad has been at so Macworlds, it has effectively erased his celebrity status. :P

Why isn't Dave Chappelle on the list? (I saw him walking to the keynote at last year's MWSF!)
