== Show Budget ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' And do you have a budget? You don't have to tell me what it is, but do you have a budget this time?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I guess so.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I have a general budget, yes. I have an amount of money I'm taking.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But it's more money than I have to spend.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No, I have an amount of money I'm taking in cash. And if I am overcome with lust, I will... For a sailor. Yeah. For a sailor, I will go higher. I don't see that happening, though. Based on last year's experience, I kind of have an idea. And based on the things that I'm looking for, you know, something would have to like... The only problem I foresee with me and my budget is there's a couple of pens by Visconti that are amazing that they've come out with that I've been really looking at. Well, I've shown you the Visconti Wall Street, I think, before. And I know that Andersons carry it, so we'll see. It's a very expensive pen. But I'm still holding out for that Nakaya, so I don't want to go too insane crazy on the budget. Because that's still... I wanted to get past this pen show before I bought the Nakaya, so we'll go from there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Unless they have one there, of course.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I've never seen one in the two years I've been, so...

'''Myke Hurley:''' If they do, do you think you might do it? How much are Nakayas?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Absolutely. They start around... Like, the base ones are around 600. Between 6 and 7.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay, go buy some t-shirts.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I doubt I would find the specific one that I would want there. With all the specific... The exact right color and the exact right nib size and the exact right furniture on it. So, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to order whichever one I want.
