'''Myke Hurley:''' Live from the Atlanta Pen Show, this is The Pen Addict episode 150. I want to thank today's sponsors, Lynda.com, Pen Chalet, and Mash Drop. My name is Myke Hurley and I'm joined by Mr. Brad Dowdy. Hey guys. And Anna Reinert. Hi Anna. Hi. Hello. Guys, we made it. We're here. This has been like the experience to end all experiences. It's been really, really amazing.

'''Ana Reinert:''' I am at a loss for words and we're going to have to sit here and talk for like the next hour. And my mind's so blown, I don't even know what to say. It's been really awesome.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So this is the second day of The Pen Show. So it's Saturday, right? We got here yesterday. But me and you have met for the first time now.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Yeah. So let's talk about the first bro hug that we had. I was so excited for the show that I couldn't sleep the morning before I came to pick you up. So I slept. I got up early. I got to the airport. We're going to go with two and a half hours early. Anna, you might dispute that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' He was trying to leave like four hours early. He's like, I'm going to go to the airport. I'm going to pick Myke up.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Yeah. So Anna was texting me because she had already arrived by the time I'm leaving to pick you up. And I'm trying to not tell her how early I'm leaving and how late you arrive comparatively. So but I still got to the international terminal. I'm going to say a good two and a half hours early. I was just that excited. I just wanted to be there. And, you know, I couldn't couldn't wait. And then I got all the way over there and I was like, he might jump the train to the domestic terminal where I'm not at. And then I'll have to be hunting him down all day. But then you texted me. You got off the plane. You collected your bags. Immigration knew you were Myke Hurley professional podcasters. They scooted you on through. And from the time that you landed until you were in my arms was about 20 minutes, 25 minutes. That was what happened. We should. That was totally what happened. Yeah. We hugged a lot. You took a photo, put it on Instagram. Took a photo. We had a good photo. We hugged a lot. We poked a lot because we weren't sure if it was real or not. And we stared a lot. Like, if I talk, is it like we're talking on the microphone or are we talking in real life?

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, yeah, it was pretty awesome. So I want to take a moment to just thank everyone who made this happen. Like all of this is because of the fantastic Kickstarter backers that brought me here and made this happen. And we're recording a video right now, which is going to be up for the Kickstarter backers later on. And so just thank you to all of you for making this happen. This is like a dream come true. We're going to tell you about like the amazing stuff that we've had this we've been doing this weekend. But just this right now. Just thank you so much.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Yes. Thank you all so much. Thank you. It's amazing. You guys rock for supporting our little thing that we do. It's pretty crazy.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I already feel like this is going to be just a yearly thing now. I just feel like this is just going to be part of my like conference calendar. Yeah. The pen show. I think, Anna, we can put you down, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes, absolutely. I can't wait to do this again.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' People keep asking me like, really, this is your first pen show? And I'm like, yeah, I think you could really top this.
