Everything Old is New Again
May 7th, 2009Last night we exhibited at a tabletop expo at the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors bureau. It was the first time we have done anything like that to promote Mystery Café in years. To be honest, I have been doing Mystery Café now for 22 years and I had not been focusing on it because for me, it wasn’t new and exciting but wow, was I surprised.
Most of the people that came over to the table were excited about it. “Wow, what a great idea!” “Is it new?” “Perfect, I’m going to do it this weekend” “You do this on a Boston Harbor Cruise?” I was amazed and inspired. What was old to me was new to 90% of the people in that room and those people were the movers and shakers in the tourist industry and they didn’t know about something that I have been doing most of my professional life, the industry that I started.
Everyone we talked to was excited about it as if they found Boston’s Best Kept Secret. That is something I can get excited about it. People have loved Mystery Café and the dozens of shows that we have done for tens thousands of people over 22 years. I think what I saw last night was an inspiration to me and to those that work for Mystery Café. It is new to many people and our job is to continue to entertain and do what we do best and you, the reader and the guest will talk about it, share with your friends and tell more people about it. Sure, the All New, Mystery Café!
