Miguel:  Joe, did you catch, uh, City High on Fat Tuesday[/def]?

Joe:  Nah, I didn’t get a chance to catch the show. How was it, man?

Miguel:  It was actually really good. I had forgotten that I had been listening to their album a lot in the past couple of months. So, it was really cool to hear all the songs that I, you know, I’d been hearing on the radio and on my CD player and all that.

Joe:  What was the crowd like?

Miguel:  The crowd was hype, like, they really knew how to excite the crowd, and, they did a lot of stuff to get the crowd involved in the show, like, there’s three of them and so they would divide up the crowd and see who could cheer the loudest. And the crowd just went wild when they played their two most popular songs. Everyone had their hands in the air, everyone was dancing, everyone was singing along. It was, it was really fantastic.

Joe:  Wow! That’s great man. So all in all, the show was cracking.

Miguel:  Definitely. If you get a chance to see them another time, you should check it out.
