Well, here's one perspective.

Go look at Gerrard Hall.

The place isn't even as big as Das Kaffeehaus.

Suppose you could cram 100 people in there.

That's $2000. To schlep ass up here from Houston and perform. After expenses.

I don't know if CUAB gets Gerrard Hall for free. But ain't nobody making any 
money significant money off this gig unless CUAB is heavily subsidizing it.

Jandek is a Rorschach test. Your reaction to Jandek is more interesting than 
Jandek, according the representative from Corwood Industries himself.

Is it worth $20 to self-administer and self-grade your own Rorschach test? 
Well, that's kind of its own Rorschach test, isn't it?

You could spend $20 and find out.

Or, it might be more interesting to you to not spend $20. And see how you 
feel about that.

I think I like this "guy."
