The event isn't even funded on Kickstarter yet and we're inviting Gassee and Dick Van Dyke and paying their way? Oh lord. Debbie Harry didn't RSVP back, I take it? Couldn't raise Warhol from the dead?
Gassee was not even what I'd consider a notable blip at Apple, and had virtually nothing to do with Amiga other than some oft quoted mention about how the Amiga impressed him. In terms of relevance, you might as well invite Woz to the event and offer to pay his way. This is a man that's most noted for spearheading the Newton during his time at Apple, lol, As for BeOS and Gassee, also considered to be one of the classic, over-reaching business blunders in all of computing, after Gassee wouldn't drop his price and NeXT (and Jobs) walked in through the door Gassee opened for them.
Van Dyke, now 89 years old, while being a celeb, was merely an Amiga enthusiast that afaik sold out his last remaining Amiga's in '08.
