Last night, The Varsity Show gave its annual I.A.L. Diamond Award to famed musician Art Garfunkel in a gala affair that was studded by exactly one star. The event, a pre-show reception held in Lerner C555, was attended by a mixed crowd of Varsity Show parents, friends, and alumni who enjoyed free drinks and appetizers. Also in attendance was the illustrious Dean Austin Quigley, who spent most of the night being dapper, as he is wont to do, schmoozing with Garfunkel and protecting him from the adoring masses.

For the most part, Garfunkel didn't need protecting—the crowd was predominantly dignified, restrained, and decidedly not star-struck. This may be due in part to the fact that the man who received the Diamond Award last night looked surprisingly little like Art Garfunkel (see another photo after the jump).

minifunk"Where is he?" people kept asking. It's been a while since Garfunkel has been prevalent in the public eye, and many party-goers who had hoped to immediately recognize the face behind one of the most recognizable names in the country seemed...well...confused. Very few people were able to identify the man without having him pointed out to them, and most of those who did were only able to deduce based on the fact that his son, with whom Garfunkel was standing all night, was the spitting image of Art as a young man. With the trademark Garfunkel hair and innocent demeanor, as one onlooker put it, "the son looks more like Art Garfunkel than he does!"
