however, on one occasion he did a show here in philadelphia at st. mary's where there was a Q&A session, and i absolutely went to it. it was great. i even put the "its not worth me seeing you live" perspective to him, and he was very understanding :)

I am not so sure about that. If you have a following, your fans may still want
to come to a show where all you do is play your music for them from a CD or
whatever and talk about it with them. Think about an independent filmmaker
screening their new film. They may very well value your time and interaction
with them enough to pay for a concert.
