Everyone\u2019s favorite event, Pie & Whiskey, is back! It\u2019s been 12 years since this event began at the Get Lit! Festival, and we\u2019re so thrilled to be able to celebrate our anniversary year with the first in-person Pie & Whiskey since 2019! Pie & Whiskey is hosted by Samuel Ligon and Kate Lebo. Ligon is the author of three novels\u2014Miller Cane: A True & Exact History, published serially in the Inlander, Among the Dead and Dreaming and Safe in Heaven Dead\u2014and two collections of stories, Wonderland, and Drift and Swerve. Lebo is the author of the cookbook Pie School, and a collection of essays, The Book of Difficult Fruit, which won the Washington State Book Award in 2022. Ligon and Lebo also co-edited the anthology Pie & Whiskey: Writers Under the Influence of Butter and Booze, which will be available for purchase at the event. Pie & Whiskey features 13 authors reading flash fiction, flash nonfiction, and poetry inspired by a deep affinity and abiding appreciation for pie and whiskey. Readers include Polly Buckingham, Ben Cartwright, Kevin Decker, Nick Deshais, Jill Herrera, Samuel Ligon, Kate Lebo, Gary Copeland Lilley, Emma Noyes, Daniel Orozco, Rochelle Smith, Jess Walter, and Lisa Wells. <\/p>\n
Pies served at the event are baked by Kate Lebo and a crew of volunteers. A limited number of chapbooks containing work from the readers will be on sale for $10. The chapbooks are designed by Lost Horse Press, printed by Gray Dog Press, and hand-stitched by EWU students. While sales of the chapbook help support the event, donations are also gladly accepted.<\/p>\n
We would like to thank Don Poffenroth and Dry Fly Distilling for generously donating the whiskey. We would also like to thank Gray Dog Press, Lost Horse Press, DOMA Coffee Roasting Company, Culture Breads, and Willow Springs. This event would not be possible without their donations of time, space, energy, and funds.<\/p>\n
This event is 21+ and will be $5 at the door. Cards are accepted but cash is encouraged. We encourage attendees to arrive early to guarantee entry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
