UPDATED - Chandler Slept Here... And Drank There, And Banged His Mistress In There

**Update**

I have just been informed that the price is now $40.00 for anybody who wants to ride the tour with the MWA on Sunday.

Forty bucks to see where Chandler got shitfaced?  A bargain!

So this weekend, amidst Carmageddon and Noir At The Bar (featuring Duane "Get Over Here, Gimp Boy" Swierczynski), the good folks with the So Cal Mystery Writer's of America have worked their hoodoo magic on the equally fine folks at Esotouric Bus Tours to give their members a special deal on their very popular Raymond Chandler Tour (.PDF warning).

This Sunday you can ride in air conditioned comfort and see the places Chandler ate, drank, wrote, and stashed his mistress. Starting at Clifton's Cafeteria on Broadway and hitting places like the L.A. Athletic Club, Musso & Frank's, The Barclay Building, The Mayfair Hotel, it's a 4 hour Chandlerian orgy.

And all for $40 bucks.  Members and non-members alike.

Here's the link.

Christa Faust, who's bailing on us to go to the UK for Harrogate, the strumpet, took the tour last year and you can see some of the places they'll hit on her Flickr page.

So come on down and learn a little bit about the guy who wrote Philip Marlowe.
