Brushes with fame!

In Steve's current job, he meets with and does presentations with a lot of intersting people. CIA, FBI, Army, animators, and the list goes on... but today was my favorite. Check it out!

This was taken this afternoon in Steve's office in Orem! :)
In case you are unsure who this is with Steve ... compare it to this one I borrowed from Wikipedia.

Its Kurt Russell, actor in such films The Thing, Escape from New York, Silkwood, Stargate, Backdraft, Tombstone, Vanilla Sky, and Grindhouse.

Steve and Kurt sat beside at Steve's desk with him for about an hour and a half. He was very down to earth. Steve showed him the technology they are working on and then they began to play with it. Kurt would tell Steve to make it do something and Kurt would just double over in laughter. Steve has a bowl of pistachios on his desk - he munches on them while he works. Kurt munched on some too! Kurt flew in today in his plane (he's a pilot). He's hanging out with a friend (the one who connected Steve's company and Kurt) and one of Steve's co-workers the rest of the day and then flying home tonight. Kurt was very excited about the technology ... we'll see where it goes from here.
