For those of you near San Francisco, Grubwithus is having a contest where you can win two seats to a dinner with Pixar co-founder Alvy Ray Smith — someone who seems to have been forgotten in the history of Pixar. If you’re a fan of the studio you might find this especially interesting as Smith was present in the days before the company got into feature filmmaking. According to the book iCon he left in 1991 after an argument with Steve Jobs over the use of a whiteboard! True? Ask him yourself over dinner!
