== Pen Color ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' See, I don't, I'm not sure. I think I like the style and I hope they make more of them, but I'm not sure this color is for me. I think this is something I'm going to be picking up all weekend. So I just, I saw it at Dan Smith's table, Nipsmith's table. I looked at it and I also saw the, uh, 1911 Stormy Sea as well. The King of Pen, not the 1911, the King of Pen Stormy Sea. Yeah. Again, I don't think that colors for me, but I bet a lot of people are into it.

'''David Sparks:''' It's really good. It's really good. Um, I am in a very good position in the room, getting to see a lot of new vendors and some people that I haven't seen in a long time. And I'm right behind Galen Leather. And I just wanted to say their stuff is awesome. Um, and they're super cool to hang out with. So it's really neat to get to see, talk to Yusuf and like, just hear all the stuff that he's going through and, uh, you know, all the cool things that he's creating. And I'm really happy like that we get to hang out with him all weekend. Yeah. So that's pretty cool. And you can get all that stuff. Like how's that stuff doing at Vaness Pens? Cause it's, that shelf is always just like, I can't see the shelf for the people in front of it.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Oh yeah. It's been amazing. And watching people just stand all day and go zoop, zoop, zoop, zoop, zoop with the zippers. And they'll take one case and it's like the five pen case and then the 10 pen case and then the three and then the five and they'll look at different colors and then they'll take two different crazy horse leather and they'll like, this one or this one, this one or this one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We need to talk about that wild little case thing. It's like a tiny little briefcase, like which has these magnets on and you can unfold it. It's like the ultimate pen show kit. Yeah.

'''David Sparks:''' So what is that?

'''Ana Reinert:''' The new, the new leather. Yeah.

'''David Sparks:''' Like the box, not the, not the letter writing box, but the carrying case.

'''Ana Reinert:''' That's the one that's just on Galen's table. And I think that's something new that they're still working on. Yeah. So that's not for sale yet.

'''David Sparks:''' If y'all haven't seen this yet, you should come check this thing out. It's like the, the mental gymnastics that had to go into creating this kit. It's pretty fantastic.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Ryan, Ryan Cruz, I walked by and he literally just like picked it up, folded it up. We put the strap on and he put it on and he goes, Oh yes, I think, yes, this, yes. It was really nice. I think he was about to walk away with it.

'''David Sparks:''' Can't stop fidgeting with it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think he said it was based on a Swiss doctor's kit.

'''David Sparks:''' Yeah. And that's what it looks like. Fountain pen size. Like it's not overly large. Like when it's spread out, it's, it's pretty big. It takes up space. But when you kind of pack it all in together, it's, it's not even shoebox size. Yeah.

'''Ana Reinert:''' And it closes with magnets on the side.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So it's like this cute little leather briefcase for pen stuff. Yeah. I desperately want one.

'''David Sparks:''' Yeah. They're pretty cool. It's wonderful. Yeah. I think they're going to do pretty well once those launch. So come by and check them out so you can play with them. They have two display models on the table and I'm just fascinated with them.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And I guess listeners at home should just keep their eye on the Galen of a website, hoping that maybe one day they go for sale, right? Yes. Yep. What else have you been looking at?

'''David Sparks:''' What'd you bring for us, Anna?

'''Ana Reinert:''' Uh, the Kello ring. Yay. Kello ring.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Which Daryl was teasing me because of, he was like, what's with the puns? And I'm like, if I can use them, I will.

'''David Sparks:''' I mean, it's pen show people where I'm going to go terrible with puns just because it's so fun. Yeah. But I mean, we just, you have to do it, right? You just have to do it.

'''Ana Reinert:''' After the Chicago ring, I just couldn't, I couldn't help myself.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. So I look forward to the next version. You're putting yourself into a bit of a situation though.

'''Ana Reinert:''' I know. Yeah. I don't know how many more I can come up with, but you know, I'm going to go with it. Well, after last year's, which had the great skyline and every, you know, I was like, what can I do? Like, how do I top myself? So I just, I went punny.

'''David Sparks:''' Yeah. And what, the one pin you were showing me today that we'll have to check out more, you and I both is the Euchres pin. Tell us about this thing.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Um, so it is a, um, felt tip pen that will take fountain pen ink. So cartridge or converter, um, and it, you can choose nibs, nib sizes between a 0.8 and a 1.4 and they're on the Yaffa table and you can get them in with a plastic body in like white, red, blue, like a teal blue. You were standing there with me. There was a metal one too.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There was in a little box. Yes.
