== Field Notes ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Every week's a big week on the Twitter machine for me and my friend. All right. So, there was, uh, an unexpected, um, amount of field notes news. I think before that we should maybe talk about our impressions of lunacy a little bit. We both got them now, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes, but, I haven't opened mine yet.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh my God, you're the worst person.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Are they near you? I've been gone. I've been gone. Um, they're maybe 20 steps away. I can go get them if you'd like me to step away real quick.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Go get them and I'll start talking about them.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. So,

'''Myke Hurley:''' the lunacy edition is the, uh, the most recent field notes edition. Uh, as a subscriber, I have the four pack, which includes the no moon cutout. They are the moon cutouts. So, I have a four moon cutout, a half moon, uh, a crescent moon, and then a new moon, a no moon edition. Um, and they've got the kind of gray paper inside with the reticle grid. Something that I didn't know from when we were talking about it last time when we just had pictures is that there is a slight texture to the cover, which I quite like. Um, this is a very interesting, very different edition. It is a beautiful edition. Um, but it's a weird edition at the same time. So, like, the complete full moon one, the cover feels very strange because there's just this big hole cutout in the middle. Uh, but then it has, like, the shiny paper on the inside which has the photo of the moon which you see through the cutout, the hole cutout, and then you have some moon information on the inside of them. So, it's got a little bit extra rather than just the practical applications, the story, and the specifications. It's got some moon facts and some moon information which you can look at which is kind of cool and has some spacey stuff in there. Um, I really like this edition because it's black, all black. It has something weird to it. You know, I love my weird ones and it's also got a reticle grid. It's basically a winner for me.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, so, I'm back. I'm gonna undo this here. So, I was gone all week last week. They came in the day before I left. Um, I didn't have time to open them.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, now I'm...

'''Myke Hurley:''' You're gonna have to listen back to the show to get my, my quick review that I just gave.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That was a trick.

'''Myke Hurley:''' All in all, I really liked them. I really, really do like them. It's not my favorite edition ever, but it's up there, I think. I think it's quite close to the top.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, so the little moon designs are kind of glossy. Yeah. They're like, they're like magazine stock.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. I thought it might have been that, um, indestructible paper.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It is not,

'''Myke Hurley:''' because I ripped it immediately.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Um, the gray background is a little bit subtler than I thought it would be, which is great. Are they different shades in each one? The paper, do you mean? No, they're all the same. Huh?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Do you mean the paper?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' The paper.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, no, it's the same. It's way, it's really, really subtle. Like, I, I don't even know if I would have known. Yeah, so I've heard,
