Murder and Mayham
Last night work sponsored a murder mystery dinner at the Archbishops Mansion which is one of the oldest hotels in San Francisco. Located at 1000 Fulton Street, it was a fantastic place to explore. Learning some of the historical attributes, I found that the mirror above the bar, once belonged to Mary Todd Lincoln, and the chandelier which hung in the entrance foyer, was that of which was featured in gone with the wind.
With the actors mixing and mingling, we met Dick, the cop who was filty rich, his wife Dora who used to be a coat check girl, now rich lush who married Dick, Auntie Agatha who seemed a bit dillusional and over the top with her wit, charm, and drinking her tea (she only drinks tea). We met Dudley, her dimwitted nephew, as well as Shirley Holmes who wore a black veil out of mourning her late grandfather. We met Marmaduke the mystic, who solved his crimes through his psychic abilities. Nancy was late as well as Julius Alexander. Together they were the slueths in the murder mystery.
To make a long and fun evening shorter, the first found dead was Julius with a note that said "I will prove Im the best slueth". One by one the slueths started dying. Marmaduke had Julius's famous corkscrew in his head. Yes he got screwed on that deal. The Dora, the Nancy (who was really one in the same with Shirley). All that remained at the end were Dick, Auntie Agatha, and Dudley.
As for dinner, I had the salmon and Josh had pork. Not the greatest dinner but still good. We had wine and wine and wine and cheesecake for desert. Josh had cheesecake AND the chocolate almond cake. I guess all you have to do is ask lol.
Overall it was a fun time. Josh finally got to hang out with my coworkers and decided that there are actually a few he likes of course the wine may have helped with that one.
