Random Flashback for Friday 7/11/14

Merry Christmas in July to those of you who celebrate ... like the Hallmark Channel (with all of their holiday movies in rotation right now) and any number of vendors who use the juxtaposition of the heat of summer with winter holiday images as a marketing stunt.

Twenty years ago, I was doing just that thing, as we promoted another entry in the mysterious murder quest series, titled 'Holly, Hemlock and Mistletoe', performed at my under grad alma mater LVC in July of 1994.

If I recall correctly, Santa was proposing to his Mrs. Claus in this scene ... but Santa was also a two timing ho (who probably would have gotten it on with a reindeer if he could have and *really* upset someone like a Santorum) ... so, you know ... there's that.  Hence, the hemlock in the title.  Unless, of course, the hemlock was a red herring ... as anyone who attended these audience participation murder mysteries grew to expect as more and more of them from my fictional town of Winston Falls were presented.

Good times ... with good folks!  Happy Holidays!
