== San Francisco pen show highlights ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' So if that wasn't enough to get you excited about the San Francisco pen show, my shout out of the week is making the trip for the first time to the San Francisco pen show. And this is the wonderful Hiroko from Bocamundo Studio.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Damn it. Come on. Why? This isn't fair.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So if you're active on pen Instagram, you have seen Bocamundo, the work that Hiroko does.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is heartbreaking.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And they are making the trip over to San Francisco. And this would be, so for me personally, this would be the first place I would go.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is going to be danger.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And it's just going, you have to budget accordingly for your visit to Bocamundo.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh my God, Brad. Just go look, right? Just go look because this is not stuff you see. And this is one of the great things about pen shows, which we've been talking about for years, right? You get to see stuff in person that you may have only seen online. And Hiroko's artwork is just amazing. And the craftsmanship is out of this world. And you definitely just want to go see it, right? Like the artwork, the Arushi art, the, you know, all the different inlays, all the different styles, all the different colors, um, and just the craftsmanship is, is unbelievable. So make sure you find a Bocamundo if you're going to be there at the San Francisco pen show and check them out. So that is the shout out of the week. And it is again, between the Enigma stationery pen and now this, like we're, we're just getting into like the full jealousy phase of not, not being there this year. So I will get yelled at, uh, a bunch during the show, Brad, look what I found. And I'm going to be, I'm just going to have to, I need, I just need to go out of town and like into the, into the world wilderness during, uh, San Francisco pen show.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, honestly, I'm just happy that we're in this one together. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Like we're both not going to be there.
