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? 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.
This arresting experience will feature Western Canadas first Poetry
Brothel (five bucks buys a love poem read to you by a sexy stunner) as
well as a Guys and Dolls date auction, so bring your chequebook! Our
lineup of lads and lovelies will show the winning bidders the times of
their lives, thanks to generous sponsorship from premier local
entertainments.
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!
