Weekend Discussion Thread: Which Letter Writer Do You Wish You Could Track Down

ashley

One highlight of the Turkey Day marathon was the appearance of young lady named Ashley Holtgraver (shown above) (who goes by the stage name of Christmas Disco-Marie Sagan when she performs with a band called Freezepop–she’s a web developer in real life). When she was 8, she wrote a letter to the show, which Joel read in episode 416- FIRE MAIDENS FROM OUTER SPACE.

Honestly, I would love to be able to track down ALL the people, especially the kids, who wrote in.

Which brings us to this week’s WDT: Which letter writer would you like to find out about? Me, I’d like to find that kid who complained that episodes of the show were shown during the day “…and I’m in school falling asleep.” I worry about that kid and I hope he took Joel’s advice and got into breakfast.

What’s yours?
