Without A Cue

Get it? Like "Without A Clue?" Melissa suggested that a few of us go to a murder mystery dinner. LOVED the idea. And after going to this one, I am still craving going to a real murder mystery dinner. We wound up going to the performance called "Death By Disco."

Death By Disco

Welcome to The Land of Oz Discoteria, and the World Championship King and Queen of Disco Dance Contest! What a night this should be. Our finalists will be bumping to that disco beat, each and every one of them hoping to be crowned the new monarch of the light fantastic. Our DJ, The Boogie Man, is going to be spinning some killer tunes, so put on your polyester, and your platform shoes, 'cause one of our contestants will Cha-Cha right into the chain gang as murder erupts in this '70's disco mystery!

When I think of these dinners, there is a huge wooden table and chandeliers, and dark wood paneling on the walls. People are dead serious, stay in character, an old butler serves people dinner... This was not that. A few (55) of us gathered in a brightly lit upstairs room of a Charlie Brown's where this disco themed murder "mystery" was funny and different and not at all professional or believable. But it was something fun and different, and I am definitely looking forward to finding something more fitting with what I thought all murder mystery dinners would include. 

On the upside: everyone had to write out their 3 answers at the end of the performance:

1. Murderer
2. Method
3. Motive

And out of those 55 people, yours truly was the only person to get all three answers correct. Natural investigative skill, or just too many hours reading more intricate and better disguised murder mystery novels? I won a tote, and a plastic cup that in their own words "Will not keep water cold, or hot, and if I dish-wash it, it will not even keep liquids inside of it anymore!"
