[QUOTE="Tiggerunner, post: 7061652, member: 6861473"] [b]Murder Mystery Dinner in Zeitgeist[/b] So this sort of took shape over the last week, but I was promoted at work, and started planning a celebration party for my friends, and I suddenly had this thought, "what if I rented out that local resteruant that's in the refurbished 1800's train station, and hosted a murder mystery dinner that takes place in the Zeitgiest setting?"
