From The Houston Press, January 2, 2003:
Wonderfully
weird kitsch is what every droopy soul needs during the post-holiday
doldrums. And there's no better place for good old American
middle-class strangeness than the Marriott West Loop Hotel, where the
Mystery Café serves up London broil, penne pasta and a show every
Friday and Saturday night. The newest production, Come Up and Slay Me Sometime!,
features gangsters, girls and giggle water, and promises to sweep the
audience back to the prohibition era. Mae West, Charles Lindbergh and
Freddie "The Noodle" have all gathered at the "largest floating
speakeasy in history," but a dead body is found just as the party is
about to go live on the radio.
