Editing The Pen Addict 323/transcript (section)

== Kickstarter Update ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' We were talking business offline, and I want to talk business online here real quick, if you will allow me. Michael, we have a Kickstarter update for The Pen Addict. I feel like we should have, like, music for that, like, Kickstarter update. Pew, pew, pew.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You can rest yourself assured that I've taken care of that for you.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay, thank you. So, we'll check that in the final, final version of this show. So, we started to ship, Myke. We've started to ship some pin cases and pin heads. So, they are on the move. I have a backer's email sent out to everyone, let them know that the process has begun. The cases look fan-freaking-tastic. They look so good, Myke. I went through all of them, inspect them. We inspect every single case that goes through our hands. So, it's always a process for us. So, knocked those out, got them packed up, got a bunch of orders shipped out yesterday. I just want everyone to know that this is going to be a slow process. In the past, we've been able to do the entirety of the order of the backer's rewards in the span of, like, a few days, maybe a week total. So, that's when we've had all the products in, since y'all have heard me talking about this case quite frequently, that it's been delayed just by random manufacturing issues. And they're trickling in as opposed to coming all in at one time. So, instead of holding them for who knows how long to get every case in, we're going to ship them as we get them. So, that's the plan. That's what we're working on now. We also have the magic of postal tracking this year, which we've never set up before. And I don't know why. It was always kind of broken in the past, but we got it going this year. And so, you'll get a notification if your product is shipped. I kind of implore you not to say, has mine shipped yet? If you haven't gotten the notification, it hasn't. Is mine?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Sure.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Thank you.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't know. Did you get an email? I didn't back it, because it's illegal. Oh, yeah. I just need you to send me some pins. Okay, yeah. I can do that. I actually have some other stuff to send you to, so we'll make it up.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't want to get in trouble with the Kickstarter police.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, we should be good. Right, yeah, we don't back our own projects. So, stay tuned. I'll be posting updates as we ship out. I put a lot more specifics in the backer notification. If you're a backer of this project, check your email. And it's looking good, Myke. We're not too far behind, just a little bit. And I'm happy about that.
