== Topic Shift - Ask TPA Segment ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, it's never everything, but we should move on to Ask TPA.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's everything for the trip. We've outlined the trip. We're really excited if any of you are going to make it to the multiple locations, right? So that's really great. I am genuinely really pleased that we've been able to work out the meetups that we're doing because that means that, you know, if you are going to be in New York or you're going to be in Toronto, we're going to get to see a bunch of you and that's always great. So I'm really pleased that we're able to work those out.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But we might have a couple of people that show up in both places. You never know. That would be amazing. They're the true heroes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' True heroes. We'll see.

'''Ana Reinert:''' I'm actually leaving a little bit later on Monday from Toronto. So if there are any knitters who might be able to point me in the direction of a couple of yarn shops in Toronto, that's the only thing. I know you guys won't care at all, but...

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That'd be great.

'''Ana Reinert:''' It looks like there's a lot of yarn shops there. That was the only thing. I saw there was a bunch, but I didn't know which ones were the good ones. So, all you Canadian knitters, point me in the right direction.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Love it. Yep. You got to send that in to Anna. She's going to know. How else is she going to know without your help? All right. Let's take a break. This episode is brought to you by our friends over at Pen Chalet. They sell all of the stuff that you're looking for. Roller balls, fountain pens, ball points, mechanical pencils.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That is right, Myke Hurley. And I want to talk about not just how great those deals are that they always have for our listeners. Ron goes way out of his way to hook us all up. But I'm browsing through the site, Myke. He has so much new ink on here that my mind is blown. And I know Ana's tested a couple of these things. So Ana, he has the new Tasha inks available. He has the new Three Oysters ink available. He has a new Colorverse limited edition available. And he has new Robert Oster 1980s colors, which I didn't even know existed until I started browsing around the Pen Chalet site. So what have you tried out of these new inks that you like, Ana?

'''Ana Reinert:''' I have gotten to try the Three Oysters as well as... Well, I did try some of the Robert Oster 1980s, which I don't think are 1980s colors, but some of them are really pretty.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right?

'''Ana Reinert:''' I don't know what 80s he lived through, but...

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, we were there.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Those were not the colors I remember.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We were there.

'''Ana Reinert:''' But the Three Oysters, some of those colors are amazing. And I don't want to pick favorites or anything, but there are a couple of them that have very unusual names that are very interesting. Sort of like blue grays, gray purple. There's a red wine, I think, that's like a burgundy color that's really pretty. And what was... Oh, the Tasha ones are actually really nice too. They are not...

'''Ana Reinert:''' Even though the bottles sort of look like they were like a sailor ink, they are not. They're made by... I think Tasha makes them themselves. So those are really beautiful colors as well. I tried... I've tried the... I did like a review of the pink, the like sort of a purpley color. And I think I had like a dark... I think like the blue-black. And those are really nice too. Awesome. When I got them, they were out of the sky blue already, which was super popular, I think.
