== Lamy Safari ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' I think it's just right to just continue that thread. I think everyone's in agreement that the Lamy Safari is the best pen out of the safari and the all-star. No, sorry. Anna, I think you're breaking up on me a little bit. I can't hear you properly. But the safari, I got an email from Pen Shelley because I put my name down for the pre-order of the petrol. And I put my order in for the petrol safari and the petrol of the ink as well. So, that's when it's where I think that I'll be shipping out sometime in April. It's where I'm going to be.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's where I'm going to be. Yeah, it should be next week, probably. Because the European pictures started popping on Instagram. So, I threw one I found this morning that was running through the Slack channel the past couple days. So, you know, a bunch of the European retailers get the Lamy releases first for obvious reasons. And I got to say, this looks better than dark lilac to me. But that's just me. So, maybe Ron was right when he said this is going to be better than dark lilac and I poo-pooed him. So, I don't know. But it's pretty hot, I got to admit. So, what do you think about this safari versus the Pacific Blue, Anna? Yeah.

'''Ana Reinert:''' The ink looks lovely. But when we're talking about the pen colors, I'm not as keen on the color of the pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Mm-hmm. Yeah. The Pacific Blue is so bright. It looks awesome.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Yeah. And I'm not crazy about the pebbled finish that they're doing on the safaris right now. I like the smoother finishes on the safaris.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' See, I like the pebbly. I like the pebbly plastic as opposed to the fancy, shiny aluminum. Because you saw my Instagram post. I got just a ding in my AL star, which is why I always vote for the safari because I don't even know how that happened. I didn't drop the pen. I just banged up against something, I guess, and doink.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Yeah. But you saw my engraved all-star.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know. That looks...

'''Ana Reinert:''' You can have those, get those engraved. They look really cool.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So we got a logo one, I think, for last year's DC Pen Show. It looks awesome. If you want to get a pen engraved and get something cool written on the cap, or we did the Pen Outic logo on a black one, it just came out awesome. So I don't know, but I'm all about the petrol, Myke. This is going to be a winner. And I've broken my ink promises this year. Not that I've really had any defined promises, but I bought six bottles of ink at the Arkansas Pen Show, or seven.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's a pretty catastrophic way to break a promise, Brad.
