Crime Pays: Fundraiser for the Federation of BC Writers – March 16th, 2009
Lorraine is organizing a fundraiser for the Federation of BC Writers on March 16th, 2009 from 6 to 9pm at The Vancouver Police Museum, and she asked me to spread the word (which I’m very happy to do) so I’m going to simply cut and paste from the Eventbrite link (where you’ll find the details to register to attend) and let you read the gory details. As an aside, I’ve offered to auction a date with me (with dinner included), so feel free to bid (and if you are a restaurant willing to sponsor dinner, all the better!)
Wanted: YOU!
Come help the Fed celebrate 32 years of getting away with murder. Whether infiltrating schools, divvying up swag, or distributing subversive publications, the Federation of BC Writers has been operating unchecked in our province for decades.
Do you enjoy the vicarious thrill of rubbing shoulder pads with the Lost Literati of the Wild West? Do you have what it takes to make your bones as a Fed member? There’s only one way to find out! Come out to the party and make us an offer we can’t refuse.
Admission: $20 minimum donation includes a drink and appetizers.
Dress code: Trenchcoat and fedora, deerstalker and cape, jailhouse stripes, uniforms, Bond Villain suits or femme fatale slinkwear all optional but encouraged. Attitude absolutely mandatory.
Raffle prize donations, bribes, and sponsorship applications very welcome: please email lorraine.murphy at Gmail dot com. Anything related to crime or the theme of noir is particularly welcome, eg detective books, Martini glasses, etc, or anything black or white.
If you’d like to perform a reading of some of your dark material, please contact me as well and we can make arrangements.
The Crime Pays fundraiser will be our Shebeen Club meeting for the month of March, so I hope to see everyone there, dressed fabulously and behaving infamously!

Thanks, Raul! Definitely don’t be shy: you’re going to be one of our star attractions at the bachelor/ette auction! This really should be a lot of fun, if I do say so myself; we’re having the only Poetry Brothel in Western Canada (five bucks equals a burlesque performer reading you love poetry).
