I just saw this as well. Ed was so full of life and had such a love of all things TV. He was well known and respected in the Texas Con' circuit. I will miss his insight and humor here and on Facebook. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and his girlfriend today. RIP Ed. On Mon, Apr 25,

I think it's less about appropriateness and more about geography. The Carnegie is a three-minute walk from the Ed, while Katz's is a ways away on the Lower East Side. Also, Katz's is noisier (did they use the quieter back room at the Carnegie?). On Mon, Apr 25, 2016 at 6:21 AM, 'Dave Sikula' via
