Like old-fashioned street performers, the callers often
gather a crowd. Here is a first day example:
"On the first day of the installation, I called my
father whom I knew was at home and I told him to call
AgoraPhone and talk to the people nearby. He called. He
yelled out to people and managed to gather a crowd. (The fact
that I was standing there, red with embarrassment and fear of
what he might say, probably added some drama and draw to the
scenario for people as well.) Then things got a little
crazy. My father, who at first would every once in a while
address me as Kelvin or Kelly or tell me something cute about
my nephew as if there were not all of these other people
gathered, started getting pretty into the whole scene. Hey,
you people wait right there just a minute. Ill be right back.
Let me just go get my guitar and my harmonica. We are going to
sing some Bob. (Now, just between you and me, he plays neither
the guitar nor the harmonica.) He came back with a portable cd
player and a Dylan cd and began playing that and singing
along. My Dad, ten yards from my place of work and school, was
singing right out of AgoraPhone with all the abandon of
someone singing along by themselves in a car with the windows
rolled up on the highway where no one else can hear! Okay, it
was hilarious actually. I am still laughing."
