"What? Where? When?" and The Daily Cartoonist

Above: The Daily Cartoonist as it appeared this morning.

This is written with all respect that is due.

The Daily Cartoonist, "the source for industry news," would be given a failing grade by my high school journalism teacher for its lack of use of the inverted pyramid format in this "An Evening with Richard Thompson" item.

Who is Richard Thompson? Why no hyperlinks? Where is this? When is this? How do people RSVP? Do people RSVP?
