Steph:  That Fogatron show was so awesome last weekend!

Allison:  It was so great.

Steph:  Cool. I can’t believe they actually got us all dancing. I mean people don’t really dance that much in Portland.

Allison:  Especially not at hip-hop shows

Steph:  I know. It’s weird, you’d think. I mean in the videos and stuff on MTV, you see all the people dancing on hip-hop videos. But, like, when it comes down to it in reality, people don’t really dance.

Allison:  I’m glad we did.

Steph:  Yeah. I had a great time. I’m sure that they got a lot of energy from us.

Allison:  I think they had fun with our audience.

Steph:  I think so, too. I couldn’t believe the things he was doing with his mouth.

Allison:  He sounds like more than one person at one time.

Steph:  I know. It’s crazy. It sounds like his voice is coming out of a machine but it’s for real.
