Synopsis

November 1st is the official start date for the BYU 13th Stake’s 2006 Media Fast, which is an invitation for members to give up TV, movies, music, and the internet for a certain amount of time.  Almost immediately, everyone begins to go kind of loopy.

On Day 2 of the Media Fast, Daniel and Katey wrangle everyone together to inform them about the itinerary regarding their wedding in California in two months, but distraction after distraction make this almost impossible. Daniel and Katey will be getting married on December 29 in the Newport Beach Temple.

After the meeting, everyone helps Brent out with the recording of “This is the Place” and other 500 Dollar Fine songs. Later that night, Jamison tries to utilize an automated phone service to determine the whether, but runs into some issues.

The next night, with nothing to do, Katey and Julie manage to cause mischief for the guys in 114 by spilling syrup all over their living room. The unusually crazy behavior, which is obviously fueled by the lack of media, only worsens as the days progress.
