you heedlessly broke up...the white slaving ring...

The EG took place in The National Hotel, a historic Old West hotel dating back to Gold Rush days in Jackson, CA. The downstairs was a combination bar and lobby, with tables filled with locals, other guests, and the Ecphorizer Gatherers. Of course Eva Cumming couldn't just come running down the stairs and announce that her husband had been murdered! Think of the panic that would ensure among those not part of the drama! Oh, no, Eva couldn't do something like that. We all knew that there was to be a drama but no one had an idea how it would be announced! Presently Eva came partway down stairs and in her best stage act ever, sobbed, "Upstairs, upstairs..." as she pointed upstairs. At that point we all knew that was the cue that the drama had begun and we all had to improvise our parts, all the while leaving those other bar guests to wonder what the heck was up with that wacky crowd.
