murder among the mateys

every october adam and i make it a point to have a murder mystery party. this year, you guessed it, was a "murder among the mateys" pirate themed party. we ate dinner by candlelight and spent the evening accusing one another. it was magical.
everyone really did a great job dressing the part (minus shane) if i do say so myself.  jamie (bottom, right) won the best dressed award for her lovely pink dress and hat ensemble. 
 
 malcom's "costume"(below, left) was my favorite i think. he showed up in normal clothes and slowly the layers started shedding and eventually he ended up looking (in someone else's words) as a "gay pirate", with a scarf tied around his neck, a couple of gold hoop earrings and eventually, shirtless.
we stated from the beginning that someone would be walking the plank (diving board) after the game into my parents pool that hadn't been heated for about a month. 
poor jimmy was the victim because he was the murderer. however, eventually all the men ended up in the pool through some very aggressive tackling and wrestling into the water. some clothes were lost in the process, those pictures are not shown. 
and as always, adam laughed so hard he fell on the ground. the usual. 
thanks to all who came, we had faaarrrrrrrrrrr too much fun!

Hi, i reallly LOVE that kind of parties, im from Spain, but i managed to get one PDF file , translated it and ... it ended up on a huge success! Its amazing how ppl get into the theme so fast.

I would like to ask you something, but im not sure if you will agree, could you send me the pdf file? i would love to make another great party this year...and as im student and from Spain (where things are getting hard) i cant spend 50$ just on the script.
