'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes, yes, yes, yes. So anyway, um, I guess my point of bringing all this up is, uh, browse temp Twizbee's Facebook timeline at your own risk. Yeah. Right. So you're going to see some stuff on there that's really awesome, but it may not ever come to fruition. And some of it, it's going to.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There's no point in saying this because every time they do it, we talk about it on the show. So.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They do a really good job of design. I know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Yeah. You might as well just go and follow it anyway, because we always talk about it. So you can't avoid it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know. It's like, Hey, check out all this cool stuff, but ignore it. That's not really fair. Is it? No.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We're just as bad. Actually.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know. I know. I'm totally guilty. I know. That's why, that's why I wrote it in the show notes as I did is because, uh, it's, I say I'm frustrated, but it's, it's, it's faux frustration, right? I'm just, I'm not frustrated at them. I think it's great what they're doing. And, uh, I just think it's funny because they, they do do, they do post a lot of things that, you know, may not ever exist and get us all, uh, get us all hyped up because you and I are both fans of the product. And when you enjoy a product as much as, uh, as what Twizbee does, you get excited when they post out new stuff like that. So anyway, that's cool. Definitely go check out those pictures. If you haven't already seen, I know a lot of you, um, have been posting them on, on Twitter and getting me to look at them and things like that. So I know a lot of you are aware of that page, but check it out if you're interested. Now, something else cool happened this weekend was the LA pen show, which is, I think between someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think between the LA pen show and the Washington DC pen show, I think those are considered the two big pen shows in the U S every year. So like all the big heavy hitters go to these are don't miss those two shows because they're so large and so popular. So, um, one of the, uh, people I follow on Instagram, her name is a castle gym. She's very nice. She sent me some actually, actually sent me some, uh, Ackerman ink samples, um, in the past. So I follow her Twitter feed and I saw over the weekend, these pictures from the LA pen show start, start popping up and she ended up having about, I don't know, 20, 25 pictures in her feed. So for anyone who hasn't been to a pen show or at least a large pen show, she did a great job of capturing, you know, kind of like the feel of the room, all the different vendors there, all the different products there. And then she took pictures of a lot of people we talk about on the show, like Brian and Lisa Anderson. There's a picture there of Myke Masayama. She's got a great picture of Myke in there and on and on. So if you're ever wondering about a pen show and haven't been to one or wondering about, you know, some of the people that I talk about and have met before, she's got some excellent, excellent pictures. So we'll, we'll have that link in the show notes. So make sure you check out her page. Um, did you get a chance to look at any of that, Myke? I'm just looking now. Yeah, it looks like it was a real busy, uh, real busy room when she was there. So it looks, it looks quite packed and quite full. Oh, and, uh, Brian Gray from Edison pens. He's got a picture in there. So she did good, did a good job.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And it looks like, uh, you know, at one point there's a, she's got a picture of a line out the door to get into the room, I guess in the morning. So it looks like it was a pretty popular show. I'll have to listen to Brian and Lisa's podcast this week to see what they thought about the, uh, the crowd and the business level at the, uh, at the LA pen show this week. So if anyone else went, I got, uh, I did get a couple emails from another couple other people that went, I saw, I saw a bunch of tweets and a bunch of pictures on Instagram. Let me know. Um, let me know what your experience was like at the, uh, at the pen show. Shoot me an email or get in touch. I'd love to hear it because, uh, I'm getting anxious for the Atlanta pen show in April. And this, uh, this doesn't help when I see all this cool stuff like this happening and I'm not there. I want to be there, Myke.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Me too. Well, I really want to be there, be in LA, man.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's cool. I know, uh, our friend, uh, Keegan from one star leather. He went, he sent me an email. Get this. So Keegan went, he said, Oh, I tried out these. I got to try out a Nakaya. I got to try out the sailor, the black luster that you, that you bought recently. I tried out this. I tried out that. I didn't buy anything. I gave him some grief. I was like, how is that even possible?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So Keegan, I'm calling you out on that. Come on. Come on. Keegan. I replied back to him. I was like, what? You, you went and you didn't buy anything. So, uh, I gave him some grief. So y'all give Keegan some grief. If you, uh, if you talk to him, he went to that and he needs a bumper sticker. I went to the LA pin show and didn't buy anything, something like that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' A t-shirt. Yeah. I went to the LA pin show and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So bad job by you, Keegan.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Crazy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Crazy, crazy. All right. I got, um, kind of a short, maybe interesting slash ranty topic I want to talk about this week. So, uh, why don't you talk about our, uh, our fine friends at Squarespace.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Man, if there's one thing I love, it's a ranty topic.
