Editing The Pen Addict 150/transcript (section)

== Scooter Clubs ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' The only other time I've ever had experiences like this was I was in a scooter club.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Uh-huh.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And you would literally just. I've seen pictures. Of course. I would, you would literally just hand, like, anybody else in the club, you just hand them the keys to your bike. Yeah. Or, you know, just be like, go, take it for a spin. Right. And, you know, next thing you know, you see, like, I had a very small bike and I'd see, like, a 300-pound, 6'4 guy, like, on my bike. I'm like, look. It's amazing. I mean, it's, you have to have a really connected community like that to be able to just hand somebody a pen and be like, hey, try it out. Let me know what you think, you know? If it is something that you're wanting to buy, like, why not borrow mine and sit for half an hour and just fiddle with it and doodle and we'll talk and we'll have a beer. And then you can decide, do you really want to buy that or not? So, it's a great, I mean, this whole experience has been just epic. I don't know that I could put it into words.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I know. The last thing that I want to talk about is just a quick mention. We're talking about community and that kind of stuff. What did you get this morning?

'''Ana Reinert:''' I forgot about this already. Okay. So, the guy that runs the pen show, Mark Bacchus, we mentioned him in this episode. So, he comes up to the table. This is early on today. This is like, they have pre-show hours. So, we weren't very busy from like 9 to 10. But Mark's there because he runs the show. And he comes up to me. He says, hey, can I borrow an index card?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Perfect person to ask.

'''Myke Hurley:''' He said no and sent him away.

'''Ana Reinert:''' So, he sees the stack there. He's like, hey, can I borrow an index card? He comes back. Like, he walks away. And we're sitting right across from Myke Masayama. And Mark and Myke are real close. So, he goes and sits over there by Masayama. And I don't, whatever. He's doing whatever with the card. Needs to make a note.
