Just So You Know

It seems that every year, not long in advance of the Private Eye Writers of America’s (PWA) Shamus Awards banquet at Bouchercon, rumors go ’round about how the affair has been sold out. Just today, I received the following note from PWA organizer Robert J. Randisi, refuting misinformation spread about this year’s banquet:
We’re getting the same two questions from people about the PWA Shamus Banquet at the Slippery Noodle blues bar in Indianapolis, Friday, Oct. 16, 6:30 to 9:00: Are tickets still available? and Can I come if I’m not a writer?

We have managed to INCREASE our seating at the banquet, so tickets will be on sale until Oct. 1. And ANYONE can come--writers, agents, editors, and FANS. Tickets are $50. E-mail Bob Randisi at RRandisi@aol.com for details on how to get your tickets. It is STILL a ticketed event, with no entry without one.
