CONTRARY TO RUMOUR, THE EVENT IS NOT CANCELLED. IT'S ON, BITCHES!

We've just released some extra tickets to be available at the door, so if you're too paranoid to register online it's first come, first served.

Who: The Federation of BC Writers and the Shebeen Club

What: a wicked good fundraiser for the Fed

When: Monday, March 16th, 6-9pm

Where: The Vancouver Police Museum, 240 East Cordova Street, Vancouver

Why: it would be criminal to miss this party!

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, surrounded by instruments of murder and mayhem in the cosy confines of the police museum? 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. Please register at Eventbrite. Facebook responses will not hold your place in the event of us selling all the tickets, so be sure to register with Eventbrite (it's easy!).

To donate online if you won't be attending, please use the secure Paypal button on this blog:

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.

Featuring an auction of the hottest bachelors and bachelorettes in Vangroover, a Poetry Brothel, and a glamorous assortment of silent auction items.

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!
