It’s true: the Writers’ Room’s 2018 fundraiser will close tomorrow night with a festive, detective-saturated non-event featuring our founding patron, the late Robert B. Parker, and his famous shamus Spenser. The concept of a no-show gala is weird, but simple: your purchase of a ticket or a whole table translates into a donation, while we guarantee that there is no actual event for you to dress up for. No tuxedo! No stiletto heels! No rubber chicken and watered-down drinks, and no boring speeches! We will, though, post some exclusive Parker-related extras on our website on the night of Friday the 10th. If you really want to pull out all the stops, put on your favorite PJs and follow us on social media tomorrow night for live coverage of this imaginary event. Please join in the fun and support our fellowship program for writers of limited means by going to wrob2018.eventbrite.com. We will love you forever, and so will Spenser.
