Murder Mystery update

Dear Friends,
I am currently working on the final casting of our upcoming Murder Mystery Collaboration with the Historic Anchorage Hotel this coming 10/30. This overnight event is going to be alot of fun. We are also doing the final bits of writing for our show, and are doing additional research, to make sure our information and our maps of Anchorage in 1920 are correct. I am working with the Anchorage Museum of History & Art to get archival maps of that era; pretty exciting! I LOVE working with historical information, and I really am enjoying building on the story of Police Chief John Sturgus' murder; Kim and I are quite curious about why certain persons were not questioned in relation to his death, as it is still unsolved to this day. Anchorage was a VERY small town in those days, everyone knew what everyone else was up to, so how could it have gone unknown for so long? Very interesting, curious story... anyway, back to work, doing the advertising, promotion, networking and email campaign! Talk with you later!

Our upcoming Murder Mystery!

Hi Friends,
I am so excited! We are working with the Historic Anchorage Hotel (Anchorage's most haunted hotel), KFAT and 96.3 The Wolf Radio stations, to present a historical murder mystery! This event is based in Anchorage's 1920's history, with real people, real events and (we hope!) real ghosts! Our event is scheduled to begin on Friday, October 30, 2009 at 5 pm, with a no-host bar, heavy appetizers and the ability to meet and visit with some amazing historical characters. We are building our event around the death of Police Chief John "Black Jack" Sturgus, the first police chief of Anchorage, who was murdered in February, 1921, and his murder was never solved. Fascinating story, fascinating time in Alaska's history, and it will be wonderful to particiate, so contact the Historic Anchorage Hotel at 330 E Street, Anchorage, AK 99501, phones: (907) 272-4553 or (800) 544-0988

We are writing, casting and will begin rehearsals for our event very soon, and can't wait to show you our exciting event!
