225.0. "Murder/Mystery Dinner" by TFH::ANDERSONM (OK, I'm goin' for it!!) Mon Jun 13 1994 23:42

    
    
    	I'm wonderin' what the interest would be for us to get together
    	and go to a MURDER MYSTERY DINNER... they are in a number of places.
    	There's one in Shrewsbury, some in Boston...  (I opt for Shrewsbury
    	myself!)
    
    	I'm pretty sure I can get us a discount at one of them, but first
    	I'd like to know what the interest in attending would be?
    
    	I don't have any specifics as yet....will post 'em here once I get
    	them.
    
    	What I'd like to know is WHO is interested....and what nite would
    	be of interest.  FRIDAY or SATURDAY????
    
    	In case you are not aware of what these are...You pay a set price
    	and it covers a complete dinner PLUS entertainment which is usually
    	some type of MURDER MYSTERY.... sometimes the audience (you) are a
    	part of the show  and sometimes you just need to pay attention and
    	try to "solve" the murder.... at some there are prizes given to the
    	person(s) who solve the mystery correctly.... some just give you the
    	enjoyment of being entertained....
    
    	Please post in here if you'd be interested in going and how many in
    	your "party" would be attending...

I might be interested in going. Saturday would be better than friday since my
wife has her scout meeting friday night. I'd also prefer Shrewsbury over
Boston. It's an hour each way into Boston for me and the parking in
Shrewsbury is easier.

    Alan and I would be interested in this too, and Saturday night
    would be best for us also.  Shrewsbury is also best, but either place
    is a yes. :*)

    Hi <m>
    
    I would be interested.  I probably could get a total 4 people. 
    Saturday is best for me.  I'd prefer Shrewsbury also!!

I confirmed interest with my wife last night and she said she could
get another couple or two if there's a need for numbers to get the
discount. I'm not sure who she's got in mind... probably some people
from school.

225.9ASABET::J_TOMAOSixteen down, sixteen to go!Tue Jun 14 1994 19:119
    M, is this the one "The Ghost of Bad Table Manor?"
    
    it was a blast - I went with a group of 24 DECcies when an actress
    friend of ours was in it.
    
    What a hoot!
    
    But count me out..have fun!

225.10ZEKE::STARBRIGHTSerenityTue Jun 14 1994 19:359
    Well, I *am* interested ... unfortunately, I work nights and therefore
    have to give three weeks notice to get a night off. Saturday and
    Shrewsbury are preferable .... the chances of getting a date are slim
    to impossible so I guess I am a party of one. :(
    
    If I can give three weeks notice or you choose a Saturday night I am
    off, then count me in.

    interested but I'll fill him in.....   I AM!  Even if I have to go

    Hi M,
    
    I went to one of these in Framingham in one of the hotels on Rte 9 and 
    it was fun....just in case Shrewsbury doesn't work out or Boston is too
    far.   I believe they advertise in the Globe.

Do we have a ballpark date for when we'd like to do this? are we talking later
this month, July, August, ...

Might make a difference with vacation schedules...

CM

225.26I'll consider itTOOK::MORRISONBob M. LKG1-3/A11 226-7570Wed Jul 27 1994 00:226
  I went to one of these 6 years ago at the same place under different manage-
ment. Different show, same format. The company treated us (a group of 40 or so)
to this as a reward for a project we did (this was back when DEC could afford
this sort of thing). Back then it was about $40 a person, so you are getting a
good deal. I sort of had a good time. Would I do it again, at my own expense?
I don't know, but I'll think about it.

    Hey >M<!!!  I feel so bad!  We forgot completely about our ::FRIENDS
    from Germany (somewhere around note .16 I think)  that are going to be
    here in the states the first week of September!  Can we change the 
    date of this to September 10th, so that they may attend?
