After the party
The Murder Mystery Dinner was AMAZING!!!

I had a blast! The food was awesome. (Thanks mom)

The theme was a 1920's speakeasy. Zack, Brian, and I had been planning for months trying to make the party come to life.

My dad made a door with a flap so he could see who was knocking.

The password was "Frankie was into that Stuff"
My dad and Dublin were the bouncers:)

Carlee was Rosie Marie, she owned the Juice Joint

Zack was Notorious Nick Nemetz, he was Northside Mob Boss

I was Molly Moll, Notorious Nick's Girlfriend

Niko was Cy Ramsey, a member of the Northside Gang

Katie was Kitty Cocktail, Cy Ramsey's Girl and Waitress at the Juice Joint

Brian was Southside Sal, Rival Gang Boss to Notorious Nick

Chris was Mayor Biggs

Chad was Chief Cameron, Chief of Police

Aubrey was PI Pinkerton, The Private Investigator

Brittany was Cindy Butt, The Cigarette Girl

Steve was Bernie Booze, The Bootlegger

Travis was Gino Gin, The Bartender

Zack was the person that was murdered and Chad was the Person that did it. At the end of the night no one thought that it was him.

It was a blast I want to do another one as soon as possible!
