Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Christmas Goose

Raven Theater presents a live, radio-style presentation of Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Christmas Goose by Michael Menendian and John Weagly, adapted from one of the most popular of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle". This delightful holiday mystery features Ian Novak and Frederick Harris in definitive performances as the famous detective and his ally Dr. Watson. The story concerns the disappearance of a gem called the Blue Carbuncle, which has been hidden inside a Christmas goose. Stolen from the Countess of Morcar, the jewel's trail leads Holmes and Watson all over wintry London and to a surprising conclusion. This holiday treat comes complete with live musical accompaniment, humorous commercials, and a closing sing-a-long.

I'm definitely going - I have absolutely nothing going on for any of the holidays this year except trying to feel at home in the new place and getting The Story finished.

I'd love to check out the market. I haven't been before and I am all about the crafts. :-)

How about a Saturday afternoon run to the market? They've got food stalls there (though I wouldn't recommend the Glühwein; it's enormously overpriced, and you have to drink it out of the doofiest mugs. You can make better at home.) so we could grab some lunch while we stroll around and look at the crafts.

Let's do it. I'm headed out to Glencoe in the morning to take pictures http://www.chicagobotanic.org/calendar/event/monthly_photo_walk but that's early. Were you thinking Noonish?

Oh, and now I've got to try this: http://dreamingofwinter.blogspot.com/2009/08/gluhwein-recipe.html so we can have mulled wine with our minestrone once the weather obliges. We'll have to think on a suitable movie to follow.

How about we meet 12:30 at that place that used to be the Borders on State and Randolph?

Works for me. See you then. :-)
