== Retro 51 Pen Discussion ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' I am fine and dandy, my friend. I have a special pen sitting here. Oh, yeah? Yeah. It is the very next Brad Dowdy-produced Retro 51.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, funny story with that. You came up in the queue for the Kickstarter Burton reward.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. Because you did bring mine to San Francisco, like you promised.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. Right. So, this all ties in together, I promise. And we'll update the Kickstarter momentarily in full. So, I was like, oh, there's Myke's name in the queue. It's time. So, Myke did not get special treatment. He got queued up just like everybody else. Yeah. Yeah. So, his number popped. And I had just, like, the day before started, I was rummaging through the shipping department slash office. It's completely turned upside down right now because my wife has built a photography studio out there, which is great. It needed it, but it's in full transition mode. So, like, a bunch of my stuff got shifted around and moved to facilitate. Yeah. And one of these shelves where I keep just some display items, you know, just, you know, the stuff for display and, like, make the office look cool and fun and mine were the Retro 51s that I've done in the past. Like, one copy of each. Like, I keep the 001. You get 002. I get 003. And I keep my 001s up there. And I was, they got moved off the shelf. So, I picked them up and I was looking at them. And I grabbed the isometric one that are... Our friend Michael Jacobs did two releases ago. Well, with this new one coming out next weekend, two releases ago. And it said 002. I was like, huh, that's interesting. So, apparently, I owed you that 002 model of the isometric. And yeah, so there you go, Myke. You got the two years ago one with your Burton that I forgot. So, I had just received... The latest version, which will be released this weekend, the Pastel Shibas, which I'll talk more about next week. And I said, hey, I can get ahead of the game on this one to ship Myke all the stuff I'm late with and get him an early version of this one. So, did I make up for my tardiness?

'''Myke Hurley:''' You did, because I'd forgotten that I didn't own the isometric until it arrived. So, that's good news. So, yeah, the new one is called Pastel Shiba, right? Yes. So, you can probably work out... Well, I'll say you can think you maybe have an idea of how it looks. But I've said this to Brad before we recorded. It's my favorite of the special edition Retro 51s that Brad has done so far. And it will, what, be on sale sometimes this week?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. Yeah. Start going on sale to Panatic members on Saturday, then public on Monday. All right. So, something like that. You'd cry out. Yeah. So, it's in conjunction with a friend of mine named Susan Lin. She goes... Her online name is MintLine. And we'll, like I said, we'll talk in full about it next week once I have it released. Today is not the day to release the info on that, but we'll talk about it next week and give you all the deets. But I'm thrilled with it. And I'm super glad that you like it, too. So, that made me happy. And I'm mostly happy that I got it to you on time to make up for all of my lateness in the other goods. So, now I need to go look for my 001 isometric and make sure I still have it somewhere, which I'm sure I do. It just was somehow not in my right place.
