I was interviewing people at the block party about what they were wearing. To record interviews, I attatch a microphone to the bottom of my iPod. Someone spotted my iPod, elongated by the mic, and nearly went crazy thinking I was carrying around an iPhone. "Bro! Can I see you're iPhone?" someone shouted. In two seconds I was surrounded. I became much less popular when I explained that, like everyone else on the planet, I was waiting until next week for an iPhone.
