  About the Event: Pie & Whiskey started in 2012 as a reading in Spokane, Washington. The idea was to serve good pie, good whiskey, and good writers reading prose or poetry about pie and whiskey. Five years, eight readings, 500 gallons of whiskey, and 30,000 square feet of pie later, Kate Lebo and Sam Ligon have created an anthology of the best pieces from our first half-decade, plus new work from some of our favorite writers today. Pie & Whiskey released by Sasquatch Books in October 2017 will be available for sale at the event thanks to Broadway Books.
