== Mont Blanc Lucky Orange ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' So, you picked up some Mont Blanc Lucky Orange. We were talking about this a couple of weeks ago, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So, it's funny. I haven't inked up a pen with the bottle yet, but I was having my own pen show party here. And because I was jealous about that. I know, right? This is the world I live in.

'''Tiff Arment:''' Just Brad sitting around his pens. Hey, guys.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I totally was. I had like a whole thing where, okay, I want to be in Philly and I'm jealous. So, what I'm going to do is ink up any pens that I bought at pen shows last year. So, I'll have good memories.

'''Tiff Arment:''' It is. You literally did have a little tea party with your pens.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I did. That's what I was about to say. It was totally my own little tea party. I did. I promise you. And I was so frustrated with my tea party in that I didn't have enough ink I bought at shows to use only ink I bought at shows last year. I had way more pens than ink. Uh-oh.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, I see this as a problem for future pen show purchases. Like, I need to buy ink. So, when the dowdy pen show's in town, we've got...

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, I was really trying to restrict myself to just pens and ink I bought at pen shows. This totally happened.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And I didn't have anything for this Mont Blanc. And I just bought these... I bought cartridges as well because I have that short safety Mont Blanc. The Noir et Noir, which is now the Bonham. Not the Bonheur, which is next in our topic list.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' The Bohem, sorry. My little short pen. And it's a safety pen. Takes short international cartridges. So, I was like, oh, those Lucky Orange will be great. And I inked it up. And I haven't been able to get the ink flowing yet. So, I haven't gotten to use it. But, so, I will have to do a full report back on Mont Blanc Orange. I'm sure it's going to be good. It looks very middle of the road. Like, I call it straight up orange. It just looks like it's just going to be orange. It's not going to have a lot of yellow. It's not going to have brown. It's probably not going to have too much shading. It's kind of like Akramon 16. I imagine it's going to be like that. Which is a good, bright, popping orange. So, my at-home pen show wasn't a complete success. But I am using the Sailor King of pens, which I bought last year. I inked that one up. Because I've been missing using that pen. And that was part of me getting some of these other pens out and inked up again and in the rotation. Because I've missed using them. So, I had my own little pen show this week. A little tea party. No one was invited but me.
