Murder at the Castle

February 24th, 2009 by witherow

I am a loser.

A loser who hasn’t posted on my blog for OVER A MONTH.

I repent in sackcloth and ashes.

Actually, no, because ashes are messy and hard to vacuum out of the carpet, and it’s hard to find good sackcloth these days. But you know what I mean.

But though I may be a loser, I am a loser who went to a murder mystery dinner … in a castle.

Yes, a castle.

A couple in Traveler’s Rest built a castle (well, technically a “castellated house” but it was still grand and impressive). My friend Amy (who is a generally awesome person) knows the couple, and they came up with the idea to host a murder mystery, using a kit you can get at a game store. ‘Twas fun.

Amy played the part of the waitress. And of the Mastermind behind the whole thing. So, kind of a … waitress mastermind.

And I dressed up like a groovy Flower Child psychic. Because that was my character for the murder mystery script. Well, I was supposed to be a psychic. I kind of added the Flower Childness. And definitely the grooviness.

Here’s me in all my groovy, Hippiesque, stone-wearing glory. Oh, and you may notice I’m wearing the antler pendant that was blessed by a shaman (if you have no idea what I am talking about, see my post “Of Mustaches and Medicine Men”).

There’s really not much to say about the evening, except that it was hilariously fun, I didn’t kill anyone, the Grim Reaper came to call, and … did I mention the house was a castle??

Here’s a link to more pictures of the home: www.castlewoods.info. It’s really beautiful. And it’s for sale! So go visit the website! Look at all the pictures! Buy it at the auction in March! Move in and host your own murder mystery! And invite me! I do a pretty sweet Flower Child psychic.
