But if you're like, oh, man, I'm so jealous of these people going to pen shows, just have your own, you know. Go to Pen Chalet. Have your own private pen show. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And they really have some choices that are very pen show centric this week. So what Ron does, he's like, hey, look at these deals I have. And they're great. And I want you to check these out. And then, oh, my God, what is this? That's how I treat this page. It's like, hey, there's some really good deals. Like these two Conklens at the top, these are like some real showy fountain pens, right? If you want like the all rainbow metal looking fountain pen, this Conklin's great. And the price is like we're in complete no-brainer type of territory. If you just want to test out and try some pens like this. And then you have an overlay model, Conklin, the Endura Deco. It has like some silver overlays, gold overlays, things like that that just look wild. And like if you're into that style and aesthetic, it's like, dang. And I think they even have like, do they have a flex nib in the option in this one? Let's see. Yes, there's like even a flex nib option. And like for the price point, like it's crazy. It's crazy. And then I scroll down on the not quite infinite scroll, but it took me a minute to get there. I think I know what you're looking at. There's two things that are sneaky. One, an all-timer in my book is the Y Studio resin fountain pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I should buy another one for the price that this is because I love this pen so much. This is not a pen for everybody. This is one of Brad's pens that he finds like completely, like particularly endearing. And I literally just love this pen so much. And the price is, it's probably half of what I paid for mine, right? Like it's that, like I should buy another one just to have. The second one, I don't understand whatsoever. There's a Leonardo messenger at a price that does not compute.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Like I'm not going to tell y'all it's a mistake, but for Leonardo pens, it's, it's, I don't have the words like for the price point. Like if you, like we just put up a Leonardo review today that Jeff did on the blog. It's a different model, but the Leonardo's like the base cheap Leonardo's like that. I love so much start about 150, 160.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This says a special offer.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It is listed as a, it is a special offer. Like it's like, it's a, it's a two digit price instead of a three digit price. Like that's how, like you don't see Leonardo's price at that. So anyway, and that, that's not it. Like I could go on and on. Like there's all kinds of really wild stuff on this page. So yeah, definitely go check out everything at penchalet.com and have your own pen show at home.

'''Myke Hurley:''' P-E-N-C-H-A-L-E-T.com. Click the podcast link at the top of the website and enter the password penaddict. Thanks to Penchalet for the support of this show and Relay FM. And I wanted to mention here, like the next couple of pens that we have both available. We're going to talk about them also both available at Penchalet.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So I didn't do this. Like I don't look at the sponsor calendar, right? Like I just put up things that I like to talk about that I want to talk about. And just so happens that these are new products from like main brands like Lamy and Kaweco. Like I like to talk about their new releases. And of course our good friends at Penchalet have these both in stock. The Kaweco ones didn't surprise me. We'll talk about those second. And the first one, the new Lamy Joy Red did surprise me. And I just want to give a special shout out to the Lamy Joy. It is one of the great underrated Lamy pens. It is essentially a desk pen, right? So if you think about what defines a desk pen, it's usually that long extended barrel, right? It's an artist type pen. It's not something you put in your pocket or in your bag or purse because it's too big. But there's something about these designs and I've used the platinum ones before. I've used the Lamy Joys before with this long skinny barrel that just makes them such a joy to write with. And they're relatively inexpensive. And it's a pen lineup. I wish Lamy would make a special edition joy every year. So what this is, is a special edition in strawberry. So again, I can't get on a sailor if I don't get on Lamy. Lamy has some extra strawberry resin, Myke, from last year's strawberries and cream release. So we have strawberry parts here. And they've added in the extended Lamy Joy barrel. So like I want to play fair here. Like this is not like exactly completely unique. They've gone, oh, look at all these strawberry parts we have, all these grip sections and all these caps. How about we just make a barrel for that and do the special edition like two years later of the color they did with the Safari. But I'm happy, right? I'm happy that we have an extra joy color. I would probably try to pick one of these up at the pen show this weekend, which we'll talk about in a minute. Because I love using this pen. It stays on the desk, right? It's not portable whatsoever unless you want to stab yourself in the side. Like if you try to stick this in a pocket or something, it's just like ridiculously big and long. But for the price, it's like 28 bucks. They ship with a stub nib or Lamy calls it an italic nib. It's not really like a crispy italic nib. It's like a 1.5 millimeter stub to me, the way it writes. But it's great. It's such an enjoyable pen. I like seeing Lamy mess around with this. They have very few colors in the Joy. So they have an all black one with a red clip. They have a black barrel with an aluminum cap. And that's it right now. So the red one's the third one. In the past, I've bought a white one with a red clip. They do some very basic standard Lamy colors. Black, white, red. Give me a yellow Joy. Give me more Joy in the Joy. Fountain Pen Lamy. Once a year. I'm not asking for much. I'm not asking for like sailor type releases here. Once a year, make a Joy. Make it joyous. Make it a Joy Day. And for the price point, even if they make just a few hundred of them, they'll sell. It may not be worth it to them. But it's such a great pen. Very underrated. We don't talk about it enough. And I just love it. So I actually want to go get mine to ink up. All right. Flipping over into Kaweco. I've hesitated to put these in the show notes for like the last two or three weeks. Because there's really not a lot to say. Until I found the price point of one of these. So there's two new Kaweco releases. One is the new collection series. Which is your basic plastic barrel sport series. This one's called Toyama Teal. It's a beautiful deep blue color. It's fantastic, right? Like you don't even need to like discuss this. You know, it's your basic sport model. Short pen. Silver, silver trim. Blue, sparkly. Acrylic plastic material. I mean, like there's nothing else to say. It's great. It's fantastic. Then we get one of the new metal sports. Which have been around for a long time. Mostly made popular by the brass sports. So Kaweco has always done a few brass barrel models. In these metal series. They've also done a stainless steel one. Which is my personal favorite. And now they've added bronze to the lineup. And I kind of choked on the price. Even though it's probably fine. Like I think. I'm just not used to it. We used to be able to get the brass sport for under $100. I don't know what the brass sport is now. It's probably more than that. But I still have stuck in my head. That the metal sports were. Yeah. So like the brass one is still $100. The bronze one is twice as much. And is it twice as cool? As. Or twice as like interesting. As the brass one. Is bronze like that much more expensive of a metal material? I don't know. Like maybe I should have done. Check the spot prices on bronze. Myke. Before we. Before we did this little bit.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Has anybody got the market prices?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Maybe it's more expensive. But for twice as much as the brass. I don't know what you're going to get from this. It might be. Slightly lighter. Slightly softer. I don't know exactly how bronze compares to brass. But for twice the price. I'm not feeling it. Even my steel one that I love.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I thought I paid under $100. But no more than like $120. Like and it's a stainless steel one. And I don't think they really have. I think you have to kind of hunt those down now. I don't think that's a stock item. Like the brass has always been stock. But that one kind of caught me off guard. So maybe I would like to hear from the chat. Via pinaddictfeedback.com. Why should I be cool with the bronze sport being $200. While the brass is still $120. And this is one of those things where Koveco says fine. We'll just make the brass $140. Are you happy now? You know. Brass price has gone up. So like I don't want that to happen. But it caught me a little bit off guard. Even though it's probably an accurate price. Like it's probably fine. But that's just it was something I questioned in my little stationary loving brain here. That something's not adding up with the rest of the product lineup here. So anyway that's it. I hope to get to check. I actually want to check out the bronze sport. Hopefully someone has one at the pin show this weekend. Which let's get into Myke. We have the Baltimore pin show this weekend. The first pin show I'm attending in 2023. Obviously not the first pin show of the calendar year. But it's the first time I'm getting on the road. And this is going to start a run for me. So probably.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Let's see in the next eight weeks. I'll probably be doing three pin shows. So we're going to do a lot of pin show. Chat over these next few weeks. And my goal. With these first three pin shows of the year. So Baltimore. Atlanta. At the end of the month. And then Chicago. At the beginning of March. Is to.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Take it a little bit slow. And steady.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I am purposefully. Tightening my travel schedule. Since I'm not working any of these shows. You know I don't have to be there Thursday night. To set up for a Friday morning. Or get in you know the crack of dawn Friday morning. To start setting up. And then staying all the way to Sunday night. To break down. And probably not leave until Monday morning. I'm flying out. Late Friday morning. Getting to the show. Late afternoon. You know I'll probably catch a couple hours. The show on Friday. Hang out all Friday night. Be at the show literally all day Saturday. From open to close. Like just really kind of make Saturday my day. To do the things. Even though that's probably like the busiest day. And then leave before the show opens on Sunday. Like I'm trying. This is a test run for me. Right? Atlanta will be mostly similar. As will Chicago. This is my test to say. Hey. Can I get all the things done. In this compacted schedule. That works better for me. Like on a personal level. Like my life. You know my family stuff. You know. Getting home on a Sunday afternoon. Things like that. So. That's my schedule. For this weekend. I will mostly be hanging around the hotel. And taking in all the events. And that's kind of what I want to talk about. For Baltimore. Yep. It's. It's literally. You know. Pretty much all day Friday. Saturday and Sunday. Is. Is your show schedule. Something I noticed. That I haven't noticed. At any other pin shows. As I was going through their website. They have a VIP pass. Myke. Hello. Hello. Yo. VIP. And so. It's. It's not just a weekend pass. Or like. We've done the weekend pass. Like in Atlanta. That includes like a meal. Right. We get like. Like an event. Like a Friday evening cookout thing. So this is. The weekend VIP. Is something they're trying. That's. You get in an hour. Before the general public. You get a guaranteed seat. In all free seminars. And you get a VIP swag bag.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And it's. Yeah. It's $75. For the weekend. Normally the weekend passes. I'd have to look. They're usually around. Like $50. So it's just a little bit. Of a premium. And that seems like. Yeah. If I was going to be there. Thursday night. Until like. Sunday evening. I would probably get that. But. Because. I just have like. A two day pass. That's good for.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But also. In some instances. Depending on who you. Are bad for. Is. Depending on how the vendors. Play this. And I feel like. Vendors should be. Smart about it too. Maybe. If you have limited edition. Products. Yeah. They could be 100% secure. By the VIP people. If you're just going to put them out. On your table. Yep. And so like. That's a reason to do it. But I. I would hope that. Some vendors. You have like. The super limited stuff. Maybe. Keep a little bit. Like I know some do that anyway. For days. Right. So like.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We're going to talk about this. Specifically. All right. In a minute.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Because there's one thing. I really want to talk about. I saw in the show notes. Like my mind is kind of blown. Right now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. We're going to talk about that. For sure. Because I wouldn't have put it. In the show notes. If I didn't feel the same way. So yeah. Like that's an interesting way. Like if you're like. Making this an event. Right. So we talk about pen shows. You know. Where people who are local. And may just come for the day. Or you have people. A lot of times like myself. Who make it an event. Where you're spending two or three nights. At the hotel. And doing. You know. The different shows. And the different events at night. Things like that. You know. Maybe something like this. Is worthwhile. Especially. Like you're alluding to. Getting in an hour early. Hey. That's not such a bad thing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Like. Yeah. That's what I would do. Like if I was attending. Because then I would get. An hour to just walk around. And it'd be more empty. Like. Mm-hmm. I could do my. You know. If there's anything like. Urgent. I want to buy. Or whatever. Like I could just go find it. You know. Right. Right. Like you know. There was a. One pen show here. In Atlanta. Where I wanted to get. King of pen. King of pen tangerine. Right. Right. 1911. And so I had to like. As soon as it opened. I had to just like. Storm around the show. To find one. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You split for like an hour. Yeah. I remember this specifically. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because I really wanted it. And I assumed someone would have it. And Nib Smith had it. Right. So I got it from Dan. Right. But. That was a hot pen. At the time. Right. Right. And so like. I would do this. Because. It would allow me. To. Get that first run. In the morning. I think it's a great idea. Like. Yep. Especially. I mean. If you're staying. Right. Like. Mm-hmm. If your plan is to stay the whole time. Like. You. Why would you not do this? Like. You've already laid so much money into it. Like.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think it's smart.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Yep. So I generally do. That type of ticket. If I'm going to be there. Like. Especially. All. All day Friday. And all day Sunday. This one. I just bought like. Two days ticket. Yeah. So it's like. Since I. I know. I'll probably just be there. Mostly on Saturday. So. Which is fine. Another thing I found. As I was going through. Hey. What do I need to see? Or do I need to look at any classes? Or anything like that? One thing I did find. Which I think. Baltimore's done this in the past. Or some other shows have done this in the past. They have some evening events. So like. The pen show after dark. They are actually space limited. So. It's like. Free to attend. But you need to sign up ahead of time. So if you're going to the Baltimore pen show. And you want to do like. The pen show after dark. There are actually. Like. A registration. Thing. Like you put your name on a list. And get like a little ticket thing. It's all for free. But like. You might want to consider doing that. If you want to do. Like the pen shows after dark. Or. Or things like that. So. If you're going. And spending more. Than just like an afternoon at the pen show. Bounce around the site. Figure out like. What you want to do. And figure out. Like. Make sure you're signed up. For the things you want to do. So that's just a little. Little check in there. That you want to do. Things I'm looking for. I don't really have. I definitely don't have a personal shopping list. Like if I see something great. Whatever. Like I'll. I'll buy something. But like. Just from. A pen addicts perspective. And a discussion perspective. And a review perspective. I. Don't know. I sent a message. To luxury brands. Who carries the. The endless. Paper. Company. They. They carry all their notebooks. And stuff. So this is the endless creator. Retractable fountain pen. I don't know if it'll be ready yet. For this show. I definitely want to talk to them. About getting. One of those. Or at least getting on the list. For one of those. When they arrive. I don't know if they'll be here. At this show or not. I'm kind of thinking not. But I don't know. It's. We're probably getting pretty close. They've had pre-orders. From endless. Designs already. But I haven't seen anyone. Receiving any pens. So I don't know what the exact. Dates are on that. I will get to see. Baltimore's a great show. For having a lot of vendors. So many vendors. And distributors.

'''Myke Hurley:''' My word. Like I'm looking through it now. Like. It's huge. And there's so. I mean. So many like heavy hitters too. Right. Like it's. Yeah. This is.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' This has been a good show. Yeah. And the vendors. Have seen that. You know. They're able to get. The right attendance. The right space. The right feel. For the show. So. That makes the vendors. Want to come to the show. So. We have. Kind of like the who's who. Type of vendors here. Plus a lot of the distributors. Which is important to me. To get to talk to them. About like new products. Coming out. Things like that. And then a lot of retailers. That I don't necessarily. Get to see from time to time. But people that I work with. You know. On occasion. Getting to just. Like I really. Use these events for me. To just like talk to people. Right. It's. I. I end up with a lot of stuff. Right. Pens and inks and paper. And. But it's more. To me. About like getting to see people. That I haven't seen. In person for a while. Or like we've only. Been able to exchange. A couple of emails. Or. Or people I get to meet. For the first time. Right. Like there's. A lot of new creators. And new makers. Which. You know. The thing I put in the show notes. Was this Edison Pen collaboration.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That they've been teasing. For release. With. Stormwinds. Blanks. Who. I follow. Jennifer Early. Of Stormwinds Blanks. On Instagram. And have been enjoying their work. Well. They have a material. That they sent to Edison Pen. And Edison. Did something cool. With the pens. Sick. What do you. You talk. You talk about. What do you think about. So what's it called here. So it's a Beaumont. Which is one of my favorite shapes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What. It's unbelievable.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is an unbelievable looking pen. Like I don't even know. How to describe it. Like it's kind of like opaque white. It's like the major body color. With these like swirls of blues. And purples. And blacks. With what looks like a glitter. Right. That runs through it. But then Edison have paired it. With ceramic white furniture. Right. This pen is incredible. I want it so bad. It's beautiful. Some mega dust now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Like this is. And this is kind of what Myke was. Was talking about. There's only 15 of these pens. Like.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There's only 15.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So there's going to be 10 available. On Friday. And five available on Saturday. They will all sell. Like pretty quickly. The Beaumont is a personal favorite shape of mine. Right. It's a smaller size pen. But like you. I'm mostly compelled. By the stinking clip. And cap band. That's ceramic white. Like it just pairs perfectly. I like seeing. You know. We're always talking about like. Hey. What can someone do new. Yeah. And different from everyone else. This is. I don't want to say this is simple. Because this is very difficult. To like. Get this material right. To be long lasting. And wear well. With pens. But like. I'm not asking for much. Right. For like. Something new and unique. To buy and check out. Whether that's like a plated nib. You know. With different colored nibs. Or something like that. But something that makes it. A little different. A little fun. And like. Seeing this white hardware. On this pen. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Like. I am. I am down with that. I really like. The. The looks of it. And I also. Like the shape of it. So yeah. Maybe. Like. If I see it in person. Maybe I get one. Maybe I don't. I don't know. But I just like the look of it. I like the. I like the changes. That they've done. With the clip. And. In the cap band. To match with the pen. And yeah. Maybe we'll see some more stuff. Like this. Like I said. Like. It's. It's. Complex. And complicated. But at the same time. It's. Not. Right. It's like. Just a clip. And just a cap band. But no one really does this. That much. Or at least they don't do it that much. So. You know. That's something I want to see. I want to talk to Brian. And Andrea anyway. I want to talk to them about. You know. Their price changes. That we praise them for. Like. Actually. Lowing the price on the signature pens. You know. I just.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I haven't. Will come up to me like. What's wrong here? Like. Literally.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't think I've seen them. And since. Baltimore. 2020. I think was maybe. Like. The last time they were there. I was there. And like. That's the last time. I've gotten to talk to Brian. And Andrea in person. So. You know. That's a lot of what. These shows are about. When I went to like. Atlanta. And San Francisco. And Orlando. Last year. Getting to see these people. Some of them I haven't seen in years. Right. So. Baltimore is a good show for that. You know. I'm definitely going to. Stop by Gingy Chocolates. Like. Which. Like. That's like a Baltimore stalwart. At this show. It's just like. A chocolatier. A local chocolatier. Just comes and brings all their stuff. And. Everyone's just like. Passing around this chocolate all weekend. It's like. Ridiculous. Like. I came home with like. You know. Espresso beans. Chocolate espresso beans. And stuff like that. Last year. It's like. I want to go do this. At the Baltimore Pen Show. There's so much more. More than like. The. Just the. The Pen Station. A part of these shows. That are important to me. So. I am just. Really looking forward to it. I am. Taking it. Kind of as it comes. To me. Right. Not a lot of plans. Not. Not overstaying my welcome. Just kind of try. To do this. Efficient. Travel trip. And we'll. We'll see how it goes. I was thinking the other day. I was like. Oh man. Maybe I should change my flight. And come in Thursday night. And it's like. No Brad. Stick with the plan. Let's see how it goes. Let's have a little test run. Because. It's like me. To spend. Like three or four nights there. And just. Take it real slow. And I'm just going to. Not. Like speeding that up. But I'm going to try to be. More efficient with my time. And. Going to these shows. So. I'm looking forward to it. I hope to see you there. Not you. The people who are listening.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You would hope to see me there. That would be interesting. Yeah. That would be an exciting moment. If I just. Happened to appear at the Baltimore Men Show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But. Yeah. If you're there. Don't hesitate to. Come up. Say hi. I won't. I'll. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. I look forward to seeing you there Myke. Yep.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You just wait. Can you imagine. If I've been planning this the whole time. That would be fun. Yep.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I haven't been.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. So. Like. I could literally talk about everyone who's going to be there for an hour. But we'll do that in the post. We'll do that next week. Yeah. We'll do. We'll do a little recap of the show. See how my plans go. See how. My non-budget. Budget crashing. Goes. So. We'll see. I'll always get up to something. So. Uh-huh. I look forward to it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. It's always like the inevitable. Like. Oh. I'm not going to spend too much. And then two days later on Instagram. Just like a table full of stuff. Exactly. You know. That's the Brad Dowdy way.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That happened to me in Atlanta. Atlanta was the big one. It was like. Oof. Oof.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So you know I love Micro.blog. Yeah, I know. And I really appreciate what the creator, Manrese, his philosophy on things.

'''Myke Hurley:''' He was ahead of the curve, man.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' He was ahead of the curve. And that's paying off for him right now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But the point I wanted to make is that has just made him more excited to do more things for Micro.blog. He does not rest on his laurels. There is so much cool stuff coming down the pike. And like just with this Mastodon integration here recently. Like I follow people on Mastodon on my Micro.blog. I love the concepts of having essentially if I'm making a post on Micro.blog. It's literally going to my blog, my blog name. But it also appears in like a social feed. And it's easier to follow the comments and commentary on any of those posts. And the same thing with other people's content who I'm reading on there. Where it's essentially, it's kind of even hard to explain. But it's really just like this social timeline. But these blog pages actually exist of all the content that you've created and consumed on there. So it's really amazing. And it's so much fun. So yeah, I'm a big fan. Big fan right here of Micro.blog. So. All right. Shout out of the week. Yes, please. We have Weirdo Forest Pens, Myke. All right. You have probably seen me sharing Anne's content. Because it is just so cool. It's pretty infrequent, which is good. Like I don't like, I don't want people to get overwhelmed with like blogging. And Anne has kind of just like slowly started to share things. Like over the past few years that I've been following. Mostly, I got really like sucked in by Anne's artwork being, you know, like a designer architect, I believe.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' There's always fun drawings and pictures when they do a review of products. And it's just so compelling and so interesting to look at and really, really neat. So this is a blog you should definitely follow, you know, and post maybe like once a month, like which is great. And they're always just these great product reviews or ideas that I can't wait to read. I just get a lot out of the imagery and the aesthetic. And I think Anne does a great job. So y'all definitely go check out Weirdo Forest Pens. And I also love that name.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Product photography is good too.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Oh, it's stunning. One of the best. One of the best.
