As Meredith heads off to Washington to meet Michael for a turkey bastering, we answer audience questions about our situation. We also indulge in a trip down memory lane, reminiscing on the eerie tales of haunted St. Augustine, our outrageous Halloween costumes, and the wild parties that filled 42 Sanford Street.

Meredith's had technical difficulties this week, so it's a shorty episode! The big news? She's going to Washington in less than a week for another DIY-ICI. She covers the fears and concerns that she has as well as her excitement.

Whitney has been a real one since 2003 proving that some of the weirdos you meet in the Theatre Department are truly worth keeping around. As Meredith is deep enough in her own story to sometimes gloss over details, Whitney plays host and asks some of the questions that the audience might have.

Meredith also gives a stirring summary of the 2011 film, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN.
