Tickets are still available for the Lambda Literary Awards tomorrow, where Larry Kramer and Kate Clinton will receive the 2010 Pioneer Awards.

Kramer (pictured, via) is a playwright, novelist and Ivy League rabble-rouser. Kate Clinton is a comedian and writer. The whole evening will be emceed by the comic Eddie Sarfaty, and directed by Joseph Hardy. Tickets are $100, but the price includes a cocktail reception.

A bit about the awards: “For more than two decades the Lambda Literary Awards has brought attention to and honored exceptional writing about queer lives across multiple genres published by large and small presses. If a book has a gold sticker saying ‘Winner of the Lambda Literary Award’ on its cover, you know it is both brilliantly written and a meaningful examination of the LGBTQ experience.”

The evening begins at 6 p.m., and it will be held at the School of Visual Arts Theatre. More information here.
