Burt and Scott have returned from the <a href="http://bsiweekend.com/">Baker Street Irregulars Weekend</a> to take us on an audio journey of what it was like in New York in January. We bravely go from club to club, meal to meal, and Sherlockian to Sherlockian, to bring you a recap of a few of the many events that make up this largest annual gathering of Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts in the world. And because so much of the fun of the Game is in associating with other people, we'll be bringing you an audio montage of some of the people who were there as well.<br />
<br />
Together, we bring you audio coverage from the Players Club, where Burt hosted his annual Lunch of Steele to honor Frederick Dorr Steele. We also grant you insider's access to the hallowed halls of the BSI Dinner itself, where you'll hear from Sherlockian raconteur extraordinare Peter Blau as he gives a Tribute to an Old Irregular. Then we'll get a man-on-the-street view of what it's like to receive an Irregular Shilling.<br />
<br />
Finally, we wrap up the show with an announcement of the winners (that's right - there were TWO!) of the BBC Sherlock Holmes DVD and a question about potential sponsorship on this podcast. You can take the poll over in the right column. Please let us know what you think.<br />

The <a href="http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6715287.html">January 18, 2010 edition of <i>Publisher's Weekly</i></a> is currently running a piece by Lenny Picker called, cleverly enough, "The Return of Sherlock Holmes."<br />
<br />
In it he predicts a spike in sales of books about Sherlock Holmes — the first since the craze that followed the publication of <a href="https://amzn.to/2ZyFQjB" target="_blank"><b><i>The Seven-Per-Cent Solution</i></b></a> and the revival of <a href="https://amzn.to/2UbBHRi" target="_blank">William Gillette's play</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001PDLR6M" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> in the 1970s. In fact, he notes that <i>PW</i> previously had predicted the phenomenon as they ran a piece in 1974 called "The Case of the Baker Street Boom."<br />
<br />
This time around, PW has some great quotes from Sherlockians we know and respect: bookseller and editor <a href="https://amzn.to/2Zxr7cK" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Otto Penzler</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0316031933" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> (whom we interviewed on <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2008/01/episode-17-collectors-corner-otto.html">I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere Episode 17</a>), Sherlockian bon vivant <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/search?q=Peter+Blau">Peter Blau</a>, author Lindsay Faye<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1416583319" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> and pastiche database keeper <a href="http://www.schoolandholmes.com/">Philip K. Jones</a>.<br />
<br />
Theories abound as to the reason behind the rise in new Holmes stories: from nostalgia to desire for new stories. But the interview subjects all agree that there are many ways to find our way to Holmes and that there will be many more to come.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the titles mentioned in the article. All are well worth checking out:<br />
