Murder Mystery at the Horny Goat

In case there was any doubt, I think I proved today why anyone involved in law enforcement/crime investigation should not be allowed to drink on the job. Alcohol does not enhance my attention span.

So let me just tell you a bit about it, although its hardly worth telling.
So we had this Groupon for this Murder Mystery brunch thing at the Horny Goat today. They held it in a tent set up over the volleyball courts. So the ambiance was not good at all, but I was pleased that it was really nice and warm in the tent - although some felt it was too hot.

We were grouped into tables of 8 - so the four girls of us shared a table with two couples that knew each other. It was fine, the other folks were fun enough.

I just kept wanting the murder mystery part to take a break so I could talk with my girls!! So not interested at all in who fake killed the fake best man.

The buffet was not good by anyone's standards, not even mine. The bloody Mary's were fine - $15 for all you can drink, but humorously, our server had to tell us that our spear of accoutrements only came with our first beverage...so if we wanted some for our second or third, we had to munch slowly on that one. funny.

So our table got the murderer right in the end - much to Marcia's relief because she was very worried that we hadn't put enough thought into it. (yes, apparently people exist that are MORE tightly wrapped than I am). But we did not get the motive quite right. But we felt we did a fair job of making it funny at least.

So then we went into the actual bar structure to have one more drink. Derek and Lynn had told me they would have the boys home at 3:30 so I left at 3 and texted Derek to say I would be just arriving home at 3:30 - since he has a tendency to be early. He texted back. "Well, we are in your driveway, so we'll come back in 30 minutes." Sigh. Yes. Yes, you should come back in 30 minutes when you said you would be there. (eyeroll).

Fun enough time, but overall disappointed. I think I would do a dinner theater/mystery thing again, but I would need proof it would be a little more well put together. I would have MUCH rather just gotten together for brunch with my girlfriends sans the distraction of the show. But, if it hadn't have been for the Groupon and the "event" we probably never would have done that, so from that perspective it was a great day.

Now we're taking a break from practicing Drew's "L sound" Lisa wore a leotard...Lucy lurched forward... ha. He's doing great. He'll so be done with this in a matter of a few months.

I am looking forward to our drive to FW. Oh, and the time there of course. But especially the drive. I don't know - that's like "GOLDEN" time to just like chill and talk.

Signing off. Your fighter of justice, Jacque
