Thanks Steven! And now we're prepared if there's ever an earthquake during an interview!

Boaz, I want you to shake windows and cameras with your Kazoos! BTW, Chris, the fade up message was really funny.

You guys do great work — keep it up!

We should organize an office kazoo band and then we can tour the world!

Cool interview! *I* would like to be part of a band that tours Europe!

I especially enjoyed the part where the trailer was shaking....
