Okay, so, about this Al Smith Dinner thing. I tried to get into it, you know, just to see what all the fuss was about. First off, I started digging around online, trying to figure out what this dinner even is. Turns out, it’s this big annual event in New York, a white-tie kind of deal, where they get some big-shot politicians to come and speak. Usually the presidential candidates, and also a Cardinal of the Archdiocese of New York. Seems like it’s supposed to be all humorous and light-hearted, raising money for Catholic charities. That’s what I gathered, anyway.

So, I’m reading all these articles, trying to get a sense of the vibe. And it looks like everyone goes to this thing. It is a very grand event. One article mentioned that both Trump and Biden were gonna be there this year, so that got me even more curious.

Then, I started looking at what people were saying about it on Reddit. Oh boy, that was a rabbit hole. Some folks were talking about past dinners, like when Al Smith IV made some jokes or something. Someone said that it was funny but a little bit awkward. And, it looks like Molly Shannon did some comedy sketch about Kamala Harris, called it the ‘Kamala/Mary Katherine’ routine. Some people liked it, some didn’t. It was a whole discussion. Also it looks like there is a Bishop who did a prayer during the dinner. It is interesting.

It also looks like people were wondering why Kamala Harris didn’t go to the dinner this year. I did some digging and found out that she decided not to attend, but it didn’t say why. It’s all a bit of a mystery, to be honest.

Anyway, after all that digging, I didn’t actually manage to go to the dinner itself. Maybe it’s super exclusive, or maybe I just didn’t try hard enough. Who knows? But it was interesting to learn about it, even if just from the outside. It’s definitely a different world, that’s for sure.

It is interesting. I think next time I will try harder to see if I can attend it.
