Editing The Pen Addict 134/transcript (section)

== Balsam Fur Edition ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' So what's interesting is before, like the past year, I had another set at the bottom of the list and it was the Balsam Fur Edition and that's what comes in at number 20.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I never have one of these.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Really?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I've never had one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I probably, yeah, I remember us talking about this. It was a very weird edition. It had, it actually had a different retail version, a different band on the retail version.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That was what I ended up getting. Because I thought I, I got a pack online and they were just, uh, the green ones. I can't remember what they were called, but they weren't called Balsam Fur.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Boy, what's that alternate name? I can't remember. Yes. But you're exactly right. So I have one of the, the main, the, one of the regular editions that ship with like the cream and red band instead of the stock black and white band. And it's just a very, super average edition. I don't know if it's something for these, uh, if you notice, I really don't like the winter editions. I think Expedition, Cold Horizon, Ambition, and Balsam Fur have all been winter editions, if I'm not mistaking. I'm not looking right at the page, but I think, I know Balsam Fur, Ambition, and Cold Horizon were all the winter releases. And I think Expedition was winter as well, because they were talking about that Antarctica trip.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It was winter, winter 2012.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So for some reason, I'm not loving all the winter editions, which I just put that together as I'm looking at this list and maybe even number 19. You'll have to go back and look. Number 19 on the list is the northerly edition. When did that come out?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Winter. So we'll have to see. Winter 2011.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Are you serious? Yeah. I don't know what it is about those winter editions. This is a beautiful cover and it has a great paper on the inside style wise. It's like the white lines. It's the reverse grid. It's a gray page with white lines, uh, white, grids, but it was another one like the Cold Horizon. It's tough when you have a colored paper. Cold Horizon had a blue colored paper. Norley had a gray colored paper. Those are hard to write on. The not all pens work well with that type of paper. So that one kind of fell down the list because it's not as functional. It's beautiful, like in the packaging and the exterior of it, the white cover with the silver, um, lettering on it. It's really, really sharp looking, but usability wise, it's not that great.

'''Myke Hurley:''' One of my favorite looking additions. Yeah. I love Norley. Yeah. It was one of the ones that I lusted over until I could, could get one. I actually can't remember if I ever got a set, but you sent me one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, maybe so. Yeah, you did. Maybe so. I think like a single. Yeah. Yeah. From the pack that I opened and used. And it's just, it's one of those that looks better than it actually works in my opinion. So that, that knocks it down the list.
