Dinner was Murder

My very dear friends invited me to attend a dinner event in their place on Saturday evening. The dinner would benefit Actor’s Theatre, a group I featured on a previous post so, I quickly agreed. What I didn’t know was that the dinner would include murder and mayhem. Pictured above are the soon to expire Brock Barrington and his lovely but somewhat shallow bride, Chyna.

The event was produced by Murder Ink Productions, a well established company owned by Marney and Alan Austin. The mystery we found ourselves involved in was called “Die Nasty in Dallas” (pun fully intended) and it was written by Joe Chandler, attorney at law, known this evening as Brock Barrington (pictured above). I even played a role in this little drama as a gossip columnist and author of tell-all, unauthorized biographies.

In spite of the murder and pandemonium that ensued throughout the evening, dinner was served with the usual flair that the host restaurant is known for. You can see our waiter in the small photo arriving with dessert.
