Tell people to go and look at it. Because it's too many things. And there's some stuff you can't talk about price-wise. So I understand there's a lot of things over at Pen Chalet that are available for Pen Addict listeners right now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I haven't made it to the bottom of the page yet. There you go. I usually can, right? So it looks like Ron's going through an annual sale. Just like, you know, getting, cleaning, cycling through the stock and getting deals on things he needs to move. Which there's some pretty awesome pins in here. Like I said, there's normally like six or seven or eight things. And I'll hit the bottom of the page. This one takes a lot of scrolling to get to the bottom. So you need to check it out. There's Aurora's in here. Visconti's in here.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Platinum's in here. Conklin. There's Pilot Star.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There's Pen Cases in there as well. Sailor Pen Case. A couple of Platinums. It goes on and on and on. So you need to go and check it out.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So yeah, this is a huge, huge list of goods for Pen Addict listeners. And yeah, and you can even use that discount on any other products that aren't listed.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Heading to DC tomorrow, Myke. Washington, DC International Pen Mega Super Hype Show. I think that's the official name of it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's a really big name.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So it's Bob, the promoter. He likes to keep the name big just because it's the biggest pen show in the world, you know, according to him at least. And we had some issues last year. You know, we've discussed that. If you go back about, I don't know, 50 episodes or so, I'm sure we talked a lot about last year's DC Pen Show experience and all the difficulties that came along with that. But this year, earlier this year, I was nervous. Right now, I'm just hype. Like, I am so excited. I haven't been this excited for a pen show since, like, San Francisco about two years ago. Like, my first San Francisco or last year's San Francisco because that's just a really good show. And it's fun. And, you know, I like going out to that area. I haven't been this excited for a show in a while. I don't know if it's because I haven't been to a show in a while, even though it's only been, like, two months. That seems like a long time for me. I miss seeing, you know, all my friends that get to be there. I miss just the environment of a pen show. I miss working a pen show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And what happened last year at the show is not even on my radar right now, which I feel is like that's a good place for me to be mentally. You know, maybe that's delusional in the end. But I am more excited for this show than I've been for any show in quite some time. I can't put my finger on it. I just think there's going to be a lot of people there. There's going to be a lot of friends there. And I hope it's going to be, you know, a lot of customers there for Knock. And I'm just excited. So, yeah. We'll see how it goes. You'll know pretty quickly how it's going by Friday.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, look out for some Instagram lives of a red-faced Brad Dowdy to appear some time over the weekend. Yeah. Website's so bad. My God.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's why I wasn't sure of the actual show name. I just call it the DC Pen Show.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The Washington DC Collectible Fountain Pen Super Show. Okay. It's the 27th annual.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I thought there was some international thing in there, but maybe not.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think there was international before, but now it's collectible.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay. Pretty amazing. It's more national than international. So, anyway. It's going to be fun. You know, I'm going to have Jeff and I both go to this show because it's traditionally super big and super busy. We do.
