What's your favorite club, Erik?

The Downtown Club. They have great music, and one nice
thing is that it's never crowded.

That's funny. There's always a long wait outside my favorite club.
And I like it because it's absolutely packed most nights.

Why do you think it's so popular?

Well, it just opened a couple of months ago, everything is brand
new and modern, and there are lots of "hip" people who go there.

Erik:
Oh, right. It's the newest "in" place. I hear the reason people go
there is just to be seen.

Exactly! Do you want to go some night?

I thought you'd never ask!
