Overheard on the El

A: What I love about living in Chicago is that every night of the week, interesting people are putting on interesting work.

B:  But you never go to anything! Nobody does! And when I go to things, there are only eight people in the audience!

A: True, but knowing that interesting people are putting on interesting shows helps motivate me to stay home and try to do interesting work.

B: So you can perform in an empty club? There is something wrong with your logic, but I can't put my finger on it.
