== Pen Guests ==


'''Adam Kornfield:''' It's a big number. So we brought on some big guests for the big number, and I'm excited to welcome Adam Kornfield and Joey Caffone, better known as the guys behind Baron Fig. What's up, guys?

'''James:''' Hey, what's up, guys? Hey, what's going on, guys? How you doing?

'''Adam Kornfield:''' Good, good. I'm so excited to have you guys. This is actually, it's too long, too long for me to have reached out and get this done, but I'm excited to have you here finally, for sure.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, yeah, thanks. I mean, I guess it makes sense, right? We're finally, you know, making a pen.

'''Adam Kornfield:''' Yeah, that's true. That's true. So that's going to be the big news today, and we're going to make our listeners, since we're professionals, we're going to tease that all the way to the end of the show. So they're going to have to listen to all the nonsense leading up to this really, really cool pen design that Myke and I have had a sneak preview for. So we will definitely get to that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Did I have to throw you a surprise immediately?

'''Adam Kornfield:''' Yeah, I know. No, I think it's good, because now they're just going to be ready and listening and waiting impatiently for that. They'll be yelling at me in the chat room the whole time, talk about the pen.

'''James:''' Talk about the pen, the pen.

'''Adam Kornfield:''' Well, good. So just to kind of lay the groundwork for the listeners here, we want to – a lot of our listeners, a lot of readers of the Pen Attic blog are very familiar with Baron Fig, especially, obviously, your paper goods. They love the notebooks y'all design, and then y'all are kind of dipping your toes in the water of digital goods and some posters, and we're going to talk about all that. But I want to start way back in the beginning when you guys decided, hey, let's create a notebook. How did that happen between Adam and you and Joey? How did that happen? And what makes these – you two guys get together and say, we should probably make a notebook, and you know what? Let's throw it up on Kickstarter and see what happens. How did this come about?
