Those familiar with this blog may recall the first opening I ever attended was a
Drew Friedman show. Well, I guess I haven't learned my lesson. Last night I went to the opening of "Drew Friedman's Old Jewish Comedians" at the Society of Illustrators. In attendance were an impressive array of old and not-so-old Jewish comedians, titans of illustration, media luminaries,
Mad magazine legends, and distinguished graduates of the School of Visual Arts--but by the time I got there they were mostly upstairs at the buffet.
