It's all in the family

So friday was, hands down, the BEST group date I've ever been on. It was planned out so well with so many great details and little touches (all of course thanks to Elise my AMAZING roommate!) She wrote us a murder mystery dinner. It's theme was the mafia-the head of the italian mafia had been "whacked" and all the different bosses around the world were coming to pay respects and figure it out. We had a few different italian mafia families, chicago, new york, and of course: the Russian mafia. So naturally me and my date were the mafia bosses of the russians. Here's the info that we received on our characters:

"Dimitri and Natasha Bugrezava
(mafia nicknames: Sugalips and Spaz)

Dimitri and Natasha are the head Capo's of the Russian Mafia. Natasha did not grow up in the mafia, but went to Sicily Italy to study, while there she met Dimitri who was working on a "job" with the West Sicilian Mafia. The job didnt' go as planned and Natasha and Dimitri fled back to Russia where they married. Natasha also befriend Alessandra (Andrea-my cuz) while she was there-a stifled Sicilian Mafia member. Their friendship allowed communication and importations to continue between the two countries despite the previous disastrous job. Dimitri's specialty was the exportation of Opium into the Italian, New York, and Chicago markets. He never touched the stuff himself because he saw what it did to his clients, but his clients were all crazy so the "normal" dimitri received his name of Spaz because he was so put together compared to the rest of them. In his own inner circles, however, he is quite vocal and unafraid to speak his mind."

Choice of Weapon: Dimitri: Machine gun. He loved the power behind its kick. Natasha: Revolver.

Relation to Giovanni and thoughts on him:
Giovanni has never been a threat to my operations. He is a fair mafia capo.

Where were we the night of the murder?
We were beginning a new day in Russia. We had just placed a large order of opium in the states, so things were pretty relaxed.


As it turns out we sort of did kill him. The twist was that Dimitri gave his key inforcer someone to whack (his wife who was a double agent) the key inforcer was upset by this and started planning to take over the russian mafia when I found out and told Dimitri. He was upset but realized that it was his wife and that that was against the rules of the family so instead he had the guy kill the head of the italian mafia to prove his loyalty.

It was a way fun night-we made our own pasta/dinner stuff, played games to get clues, played mafia (of course) and took tons of pics which hopefully i'll get them all-i only have the few that we took afterwards but they give you the idea. Cody was awesome and spoke in a russian accent the whole night and pretty much made people laugh non stop all night.

There were great nicknames like: lost innocence, gaurdian angel, sudden death, dancin' danger, silencer, sweet eyes, kriplin' kip, killem kindly, etc.
It was WAY fun and I think we totally won the coolest dressed award ;) but really all were decked out pretty good.


Well, so I get to spend my relaxing sabbath afternoon redoing our project/presentation because our teacher didnt' like how we did it-yikes. o well nothing like a good adrenaline rush to get you started with your week-hopefully it's not an indicator of how this week will go because I have a lot of test/paper stuff goin on.
