Murder High Reunion: Class of '85

My friend + colleague A. was very creative in celebrating her big 3-0 with a Murder Mystery Bash. What better setting than a high school reunion but class of '85?!? In reality...I would've only been 4 years old! Anyway, it was fun and hilarious nonetheless while my fellow classmates and I bravely paraded through Vancouver streets in '80s wear in order to reach our Yaletown party. Seriously, my neighbours were chuckling at my fashion as I "luckily" ran into them on my way out to the car.

What a great honour I had to be given the role of the Math team cheerleader, Myra S. Keaton, wife to a rich man, and smart! Meanwhile, my fellow classmates included the class gossip, the pom pom queen, drama club member, and the class flirt. There were 4 prizes for the game: best dressed, best performance, most wealthy, witty sleuth in solving the case. Of course we were all given $500 of fake money to begin with as well as certain things we had to say and ask other characters. Boy, was I good at this game as I started making up gossip and information that I just eavesdropped into knowing and got money in return. I think I said everybody was having an affair with everybody! Not to mention I just happened to be next to the man who was to be murdered when he was murdered, so what better to do but to....ROB HIM!!!

Much to my creative efforts and alliance, I ended up winning 2 of the 4 prizes as I sweeped Mrs. Money Bags (earning $2150 in 2-3 hours is pretty good I would say!) and shared the Drama Queen award with 2 others. Of course, I then had to celebrate with my "husband" Mr. Keaton himself as well as the much salivating prize--gum!

It was a very fun night that allowed me to shine my dramatic talents. And no, I won't actually rob you if you were murdered in reality! I would run!
