On the evening of March 16th (6 PM – 9 PM), the Police Museum will be venue to a fundraiser for the Federation of BC Writers. As per their website, here are the details:
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!
If you’re interested in attending this fun event, tickets are available at http://crimepays.eventbrite.com/.
(The museum is just the venue for the event, we’re not hosting it; contact the Federation with your comments or questions.)

We are also having a sassy bachelor/ette date auction, and the only Poetry Brothel in Western Canada, so bring your chequebook and plenty of folding money.
