Since you want to nitpick, "Intersting" should be "Interesting"; "crowed"
should be "crowd"; "I thought" is past tense while "we are" is present tense;
"Twenty First" should be "twenty-first"; "Century" is unnecessarily
capitalized; the first sentence lacks a subject and a verb though the elision
of "It is" would be accepted in an informal conversation; and the second
sentence should have a comma after "minute".

Your sentences would have been grammatically correct if you had written
"It is interesting to know that you are addressing only the gentlemen in the
crowd.  For a minute, I thought we were approaching the twenty-first century."

Now that your mistakes have been highlighted, please take the time to pay
attention to Mike's content.
