Hey all, as everyone I know including me seems to be down with the Hamthrax or equivalent, I’m pushing this week’s meeting back one week to Monday, the 26th of October. We’\ll all be exhausted after the Surrey International Writer’s Conference, but we’ll need a drink!
Our featured speaker is Salim Jiwa, former investigative reporter for the Province, and founder of Vancouverite.com, a new hard-news site. He was the basis for the lead in the CBC series Jinnah on Crime, and he’ll be sharing his tales about being an intimate part of many of the major crime cases of our time and our city.
See you then: 7pm, Monday, October 26th at the Shebeen. Pass it on!

What a fantastic opportunity to meet Salim Jiwa! Kudos to you for bringing such an esteemed speaker and journalist! :)
Hope you had fun. We’re definitely having him back again, probably early in the New Year to discuss covering terrorism and the moral issues of being an investigative reporter. Heavy stuff.
