Editing The Pen Addict 303/transcript (section)

== Women Attendees ==


'''Lisa Vaness:''' I think it's changed. Was it last night or today I was talking about it that... That... I bet it was 40% women this time. Like... It is so awesome. It's so amazing. I just... It's so exciting to see the changing dynamic. Not just females but age group wise and... Just everything. You know... It's... It brings more energy when you have a variety of people like... I love all my little Black Pen Society man friends but they are for the most part retired and...

'''Lisa Vaness:''' There's a very specific perspective. They have a very distinct thought process and I love having the variety and hearing from it. That's why I feel like I learn more at shows than I could ever teach because I love getting the input and learning from other people about their interest and how they handle technology and breathing new life

'''Brad Dowdy:''' and perspective into the community coming from different... I don't know.

'''Lisa Vaness:''' It's just... It's just so valuable. I... You know... And I second guess myself every second of every day and so... Going to a show you know reminds me okay this is... This is good. This is good.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Before we let her go I just wanted to follow up on the store and people coming to the store and what type of things you offer and testing the inks and testing the pens. Another thing you do is engraving and I've taken advantage of your services before and you actually brought an example of your engraving. Can we show it real quick? Yeah.

'''Ana Reinert:''' So I'll do a dramatic description I guess of this for the people listening.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So you've seen these... We've all had stuff engraved and like there's these cool retro 51s. Check that one out. Check out the engraving.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Something's happening.

'''Lisa Vaness:''' So this is a little something

'''Myke Hurley:''' that Lisa... Go ahead Markoff.

'''Lisa Vaness:''' He cried. Go ahead.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Lisa cooked something up and as Myke mentioned earlier, he's getting married this year.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So we... You know, I got... Lisa kept asking me what are Myke's wedding colors? How many times did you ask me? Like six... Like over like a month I didn't answer. So she's like, you know, what can I do for... I want to do this thing for Myke.

'''Lisa Vaness:''' Send me the damn invitation.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's not on my card. It's not on my card. Oh crap. Yeah. I was super bad about sending that. So she's like, what are the colors? So we sorted it out and I got her the picture of the invitation and what she did to this pin. I thought, you know, I was hoping Myke would like it and when I saw it I was kind of blown away. So I... This is all Lisa's idea. So it has...

'''Ana Reinert:''' How do you know Myke and the date of all winning on it?

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's her wedding invitation. And the wedding invitation like logo engraved on the pin. So y'all can come check this out after the show. We'll put it in the show notes for y'all to see. So she was... Well, we can't though.

'''Ana Reinert:''' It's got the date on it. Ah, yeah. So we'll do that later. We'll have to share it later. So please understand that it's beautiful.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' She kept yelling at me asking what your colors were. And I'm like, I'm not entirely sure that Myke would even know. That's not something guys know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Do you remember me asking you about the colors of the... I don't know if that rings a bell. You can go back through our Slack messages.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But yeah, she kept yelling at me and I'm like, I'm not entirely sure guys actually know this information. Like, I don't know.
