Royal Palm

I was driving home last night, and I saw this advertised on an electronic billboard:

Murdery Mystery Dinner Party at the Royal Palm, September 30.

Oh Em Gee.  I so love those.  And then I went to the website and saw the film-noir-y picture they have for it, and realized it's probably costume friendly!  If not, well too bad, because I'm wearing my film noir red dress, and a hat, and my old-timey mystery dame shoes.  I haven't been to one in years and years, and I've never been to one in the NOLA area. This is so awesome.  

And really, the Royal Palm is a perfect swank-fest venue to host this kind of thing.  I mean, you should host a murder mystery dinner either in a place that can pass as a speakeasy, or at a creepy mansion, or at The Royal Palm.  It's like an upscale casino in there.  Perfect.

Then, when looking on their website, I saw that they also (on a separate day) have an adopt-a-thon in cooperation with the Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter.  So I guess there's going to be dogs out there.  I'm all about the animals, but I'll be out of town those days, so I'll have to remain kind of curious how that's going to work, logistically.

But anyway, I am way into the murder mystery dinner concept.  Even though I haven't been to it yet, the fact that they're doing these goings-on bumps the Royal Palm up a notch for me.
