 Leaked Documents .jpg) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LEAKED DOCUMENTS INDICATE CONSPIRACY TO UNDERMINE WHISTLER RESORT July 27 2009 Whistler, BC – Undercover agents of the Vicious Circle have secured top secret documents that suggest a conspiracy is afoot to turn Whistler into a hotbed for Canadian writers. The documents, poached from the working notebooks of Wayne Grady and Merilyn Simonds reveal details from their works-in-progress as well as cunning plans on Grady’s part to subvert fiction through the continued support of creative non-fiction. Further inquiries have revealed that the Vicious Circle is conspiring with the Resort Municipality of Whistler to turn the formerly disused residence, Alta Lake House, into headquarters for a growing gang of renegade scribblers, who are gathering in response to the call to arms issued by the Residency leaders Grady and Simonds. Clearly in a move to avoid the attention of CSIS, CIA, Minister Kenney and the Canadian Border Police, Grady and Simonds are currently making their way by vehicle to Whistler, where they will hole up in their new headquarters, indoctrinate 20 warriors of the pen in a month-long training camp, and then remain installed in the house to work on their own nefarious projects throughout the fall. Vicious Circle insiders advise that training camp still offers opportunities for would-be ink-slingers. All that potential residency collaborators require is a desire to commit themselves to the cause. No other training is required. Although a “manuscript” is due August 10, the workshop leaders are as capable of guiding a writer on how to grow a story from several pages of a notebook, as they are to workshop more developed manifestos. 30- Contact: To join the movement, send expression of interest in invisible ink to Stella aka “Vicious” Harvey, Festival Director, Tel: 604 932 4518, Stella25@telus.net, or visit www.theviciouscircle.ca |
