== Field Notes ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, something else that is true is how awesome these new Mondo X, Land Land X, Drap Linux Burlesque field notes are.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The MLBD edition.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I just have to get them for the name, right? The MLBD. Yep. So, why did you put these in the show notes?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because they're exciting, right? Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They're kind of cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We try. I don't like to put every single edition in our notes anymore. Like, every single edition. We did that for a while, right? Sure. There was... There were a lot of stuff. It was exciting. We would cover them. Basically, all of them.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But these... The Mondo ones, like the Land Land ones, have been a couple of these before where they've collaborated with Draplin. And this is another one of those. And they look incredible. So, I thought that these were a fun one. Like, if there is a limited edition field notes that's got Draplin's stamp on it somewhere, I think that they're ones worth talking about.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, I don't buy the extra editions very often anymore. I think the last ones that I went out and bought something like this were the Nixon watches because they kind of had the America is Beautiful style photograph cover, which I thought was really pretty. And they were surf-based and they look really cool. So, like, I won't run out to try to, like, buy these or, like, set my alarm to order these or have someone at MondoCon, you know, try to get me a set. But I do think they look cool. And I like the glow-in-the-dark aspect of them. But, yeah. Like, I've definitely stopped the chase of the non-colors editions. Like, I'll get all the colors editions. I'll keep getting all those. And then maybe every once in a while, I might pick something up like this. Like I did the Nixon ones. But I do think they look cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. There are, like, what is it, like 100 packs available at MondoCon, but they're going to be selling them after the fact, too, as well.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And I think Draplin's in Chicago this week, maybe. They might be doing, is it this week they're doing something at Field Notes? I wonder if he'll have them there because he always does, like, pop-up shop type stuff.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Huh. Okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, yeah. I don't know.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Who knows? But, yeah. They'll be available. I want to see some pictures of these because it's like the two rivers where, like, almost no two are alike. Right? Yeah. You know, you kind of have the same aesthetic as that edition, which when we talk with the guys, that was Brian's favorite edition because it's just a very cool, very cool look and style. And I love those, too. So, yeah. These are great.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I'm still waiting to see what that 10th anniversary one is.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know. I know. I think we got shipping notifications. Someone got a shipping notification in my feed that I went and got, I went into my inbox and I didn't have a shipping notification. So, we'll see.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, it seems early, but maybe not. I don't know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I did just renew my subscription.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I have to renew after this one. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I got the email and I was like, yeah, I'm going to do it. Like, I'm not going to do that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. You know what else is new, Myke?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, yeah. I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming. The new Sinclair Colourway. Unicorn snot, baby.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Not unicorn snot, baby.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's just unicorn snot. No, no, no, no. It could be that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, what was the previous one called? Like, just the pink and blue?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. That's all we called it. It was pink and blue. Then it went into the unicorn barf, which was a popular pen acrylic at the time, too. So, it just kind of took a life of its own. We never said any, you know. We love doing, you know, appropriating that name for, you know, the pink and blue, you know, pens, pink and blue pen cases. And everyone, this was the story I've told a lot of times, how we made this case knowing it was out there, the original unicorn barf case. And we couldn't sell them. Like, we put them online and we could not sell the things for anything. No one would like. We loved them. We thought they were awesome. And then we started taking them to pen shows. And people started getting them in their hand and seeing them in person. And then we couldn't keep them in stock. Yeah. Right? They would.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I mean, I remember the first Atlanta, I think it was, where, like, this one lady came and she just bought 10 of the brass. Right? She was just like, I'll have all of them. Yeah. Yeah. These are ones that sold really well. And people wanted it for a while. So, I'm happy to see it. And also, do you know what? I love this colorway even more with the bright green on the inside. This is exciting. And I want one. So, how and when do I buy one?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They're going to go to retailers first, which hopefully will start shipping to them in the next week or so. We're finally starting to get enough in stock to where we can get all the, we try to get all the retail orders at the same time. So, we have to kind of build up a backlog. So, it's almost to that point where we'll be able to ship to retail soon. And then you will be able to purchase them from there first. So, and then they'll eventually be on the knock shop. But we're going to give, this is the kind of the retailers thing first. You know, the new colors of Sync Colors and Brasstown. So, there'll be a Brasstown in this exact color as well.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm very excited about that. Very excited.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. People are pumped about it. And I'm glad they are. So, yeah. I love it. It's cool. You know, like I said in my little tweet, we like having fun doing this. You know, we have fun. So, and we like to do fun stuff. And there'll be more fun stuff coming out very soon.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is super fun. It's a great, it's a really interesting colorway. I'm really excited about it.
