== Notebook Purchase ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' One of the things that our show is known for is making people spend money. So, I'm going to do a little bit of that right here real quick because I'm going to spend money on this and I'm ticked off that I missed the beginning of it. And it was a topic in the chat room, but we all love our Tomoe River paper for, you know, fountain pen writing. And you can buy it in, like, Seven Seas at that Nanami paper. You have the Seven Seas blank, you know, journal. It's, like, 300, 400 pages worth of Tomoe River bound. It lays flat. And I've always wanted a gridded version of some sign. So, they came out with a cross-field journal, A5 size, which is basically a reticle grid, a blue grid on the white Tomoe paper. I believe it's white. Yeah, it's white. Oh, it is the off-white. Yeah. So, I actually haven't. I've been pretty good at spending so far this year. I'd have to think if, I'm not going to lie. I'm lucky enough to get so many products for free. And, you know, my desk overflowing with things to use. So, I haven't been buying a lot of things recently. I have to have this notebook. The reason I'm mad is because Nanami is on vacation right now. So, I can't order it. They take down the, when they go on vacation, they take down the buy buttons, which is okay. So, their orders aren't piling up. So, when they get back from vacation, they'll turn the buy buttons back on. Then, they'll be able to order it sometime next week. They'll be back in town. But, I pretty much have to have this. And so, everyone, wait until I buy mine before you buy them all out. I know a bunch of you already have it because you were able to get it before they went on vacation. But, I got to have this. This will be a good purchase that I am super, super anxious for. Do you need me to get you one? This doesn't look like your kind of thing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Why? But, I want one. Yeah. I mean.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Go on then. Yeah. Yeah. Pick one up and I'll grab it from you. Yep. In Atlanta.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Because I'm probably going to buy a couple anyway.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's a good looking notebook.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's a good looking notebook. And the amount of pages and the size they can do. Yeah. Whatever. I'll stop talking about this. So, everyone doesn't buy it. So, I can make sure to get mine and Myke's. If you're in the writing mood, coming up next year, listener Paul joins who is a great, great supporter of the show and does a great ink reviewing blog. Yeah. Paul's great. Yeah. Paul's awesome. He sent me an email, said, hey, EncoWrimo is coming up, which is the February International Correspondence Writing Month. All through the month of February, people write a letter a day, send them out. And he said, hey, you know, a bunch of people listen to a lot of Relay shows. How about, you know, would anyone from Relay be open to sharing their address to receive some mail? So, I obviously would love to do that. I just asked in the Relay room this morning, I don't know if everyone has had a chance to look at it, but Aline Sims from Less Than or Equal, which is probably my new favorite, new to me podcast. She does an awesome job. We'll keep a list of, like, PO boxes for anyone that wants to receive mail. We'll link it in the show notes this week.
