Editing The Pen Addict 134/transcript (section)

== Honorable Mentions ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' I can totally get behind that being number one overall. What a great edition. So now before, before we wrap, we have a couple of, uh, honorable mentions. You know, other people, there's a huge collector's market around Field Notes and Field Notes works with several other brands and does lots of special print runs for events or for products. And just, it's limitless the number of editions out there. But Myke and I wanted to point out a couple of special editions that we love so much. And what's funny is Myke had homework to do this. And he just kind of did it right before the show. And I wrote, he wrote down two editions. I wrote down three editions. And I wrote down, without seeing his list, two of the exact same. His two plus one more of mine are exactly the same. So we both love the factory floor editions. Yeah. That are usually released straight from, uh, straight from Draplin.com and from Aaron Draplin. So the most recent one was the, uh, this last one that just came out, the Christmas one, the gray, orange, you know, I don't know what you want to call it, with the port that was at the, uh, Portland, uh, Draplin pop-up shop. Prior to that was the Jade edition, which is really, really beautiful. Oh, yeah. Prior to that, um, he just did some releases for his, himself to use around the shop. They have orange covers. Like I have a numbered edition of 200, um, one of the orange covers. And I, they're all kind of rolled up into this factory floor edition. So you'll see a lot of factory floor editions, um, if you're into the field notes thing. The second one we wrote, both wrote down was the Kohl DDC edition that just came out. Was that last year? It was about a year ago.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, it was last year.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Uh, it was a red, white, and blue cover with a yellow band that they did, uh, with Kohl. Kohl is a headwear maker. And, uh, they did a collaboration. It's got kind of this American flag look to it. It's just a really unique design. It kind of stands out from the crowd and a lot of the other, uh, field notes designs. Um, it's a really, really beautiful edition. It would rank both of these editions. These are like some of the, they're definitely like top five, top 10 material just in looks and usability wise. And the third one I put down, Myke, is a really, really old edition, but something about it is always striking to me. And it's the Renegade Pencils edition.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh yeah. It's the one with the Russian writing on it, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It's Mongolian. So it has the Mongolian writing. It's a regular craft notebook, but that Mongolian writing on it makes it stand out from all these other editions. Um, and if you can ever get your hands on one, they're super, they're practically impossible to get it. Cause I think they came out in like 2009. They're one of their first collaboration.

'''Myke Hurley:''' August 2010.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, 2010. But they're one of their first collaborations, um, that field notes actually really advertised, but they still didn't make very many of it. Many of them. Um, something about that edition gets me every time I, every time I see it. It's a, it's just a super cool edition. So those are, those are kind of our, uh, our special, special editions. And that list could go on forever. I mean, that's, that's an infinite, that's an infinite list.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm sure many people are going to tell us the ones that we've forgotten.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Actually, I'd like to hear it. Um, you know, I've got stacks of other ones, um, that I've got out. I like some of the neon ones that they did, you know, ice pops and, uh, was it summer camp? I like those neon ones and there's, there's whole kinds, all kinds of editions that have been done. So, uh, let us hear your special, your favorite special edition field notes and, uh, let us know your, um, let us know your, give me your top five field notes. If you've used them, um, shoot me an email, send me a tweet, um, Myke, how can they get in touch with us and, uh, let us know what their favorites are?
