== Molly Crabapple ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, good. So you got to see... Did you get to see one Miss Molly Crabapple?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I did, yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm a huge Molly Crabapple fan. I don't know if you know this. I don't know if I've talked to her about her on the show. But I like her artwork and her writing online. She does lots of different things. And she's done some cool Kickstarter projects in the past that I've supported. And I've talked to her online through email when I was at JetPens and some things like that. About some pen stuff and things like that. So I have a huge crush on Molly Crabapple. I should have told you that before to make sure you attended the Molly Crabapple session. So hopefully that was cool. And she talked about some of her things.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It was one of the most peculiar.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That doesn't surprise me. She's an interesting girl. Yeah, it was... I mean, she's... Yeah, it was... She does things from just crazy artwork to these Dr. Sketchy's conferences to... She was recently at Guantanamo Bay for Vice doing an article about that. So she's all over the place doing lots of different things.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm looking... I'll leave it at that. I'll look for the video when they come out. They do release the videos eventually for the XOXO Fest, right? Yeah, they will be.

'''Myke Hurley:''' They will be releasing the videos.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay. So I'll look forward to checking that out. I'm glad you found it interesting. Now my interest has peaked to see.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, it was definitely an interesting one. To say the least.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Nice. Nice. All right. Well, we got lots of good things to talk about today. And I know one of them we wanted to get to is that new Field Notes release. I got lots to say about that guy. I got them in about 10 minutes ago. I went to the mailbox before we started this show. So they are in hand. So do you want to take care of our first sponsor? Then we'll get into the nuts and bolts.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That sounds like a great idea, sir. An absolute great idea indeed. So, of course, this episode is brought to you by the fine folks over at Squarespace.com.

I love the stuff that they do. As we're talking, I'm adding very simply a new image to my Field Notes page on my Squarespace site. And I'm just dragging and dropping it around the page and just very easily resizing it. I needed to rotate the image. So once it was uploaded into one of the image blocks in their drag-and-drop platform in their page-building tools, I was able to just go straight in and edit the image and rotate it from all within the browser. It's all within Squarespace's tools. They have an Aviary plug-in, so they use the fine folks over at Aviary. They use their photo editing tools, and that's built right into Squarespace.

We want to thank Squarespace for their support of the show. So thanks to them and the support of all of 5x5. So that's Squarespace, everything that you need to create an exceptional website.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Awesome. Thank you, Squarespace.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There was one more thing that I meant to mention about the show.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I met a listener of the show at a 5x5 meetup. Oh, cool. So he came up to me, he had, believe it or not, he had a 70 decibels t-shirt on. Nice. How awesome was that? Yeah, it was pretty sweet. Jason, I believe his name was. I feel terrible for, I'm pretty sure it was, I feel like I say these things, right? And I don't want to get them wrong. You know what I'm like with this sort of stuff. So I'm trying to check now, frantically. Frantically.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because I'm sure, because when, I hate this stuff. You know what I'm like with this stuff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Way to go. I know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm going to, I'm looking.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm looking. I'm looking. I'm the same way when I pull something off of Twitter. I always end up forgetting or end up saying, trying to determine whether to say their Twitter name or their real name or whatever, and I end up butchering both.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yes, I was, I was right, I believe. It's Jason P. Becker. He's at Jason P. Becker on Twitter. So if it wasn't Jason, although I'm sure it was Jason, this person, Jason has got a free plug. But no, I am 100% sure now. Because I had an image, we took a photo together of him wearing his 70 decibels t-shirt, which was potentially the best thing that happened. I'm going to put that picture in the show notes too, actually, so people can see a very happy me with Jason and his 70 decibels t-shirt on.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right, so you mentioned something in the show notes before we get on to the new field notes about Retro 51 at XOXO?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Ah, yes.
