== JetPens Order ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm dying to crack open this box I got sitting next to me from JetPens.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Have you got anything super exciting in there?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You know, I've got some, you know, I'm branching out into inks, you know, and I got two or three bottles of ink in there that I was interested to try out. You want me to open this box and we'll have a, you know, a quick go through. Yeah, go for it. We can save it till next week. I literally have not opened the box and I can't remember what all I ordered.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That is a beautiful sound.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I like that Brad's JetPens that comes by boxes. The rest of us just get envelopes most of the time.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's the truth, isn't it?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, every now and then the post office won't leave it. I'm going to have to go to get the little letter that says, hey, we tried to deliver this package and you'll have to come pick it up at the post office tomorrow. That's the worst feeling, except not as bad as your custom story. Nope. All right. So there's an envelope in the box. Let me put this exacto away before I kill myself.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' See, I wasn't lying. I hadn't opened this package. It sounds like bubble wrap. You know what I got in this order? What did you get? I got the EF nib that I want to replace for my Kaweco AL. So that's going to be a project and that will be a full post. I'm going to swap out the F nib to the EF nib.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Is that for the lily put?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, no, because I got the EF nib in that one and that's what made me order it for the AL. For the AL, sorry, for the AL. Yeah, for the aluminum, the larger aluminum one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' One thing I did order, I ordered a pin for a giveaway. We'll keep that one secret. We'll do that one. That's going to be on the blog here. Maybe next week. Awesome. So I got the –

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is amazing.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, this is great. This is great radio as they say, right? I got the Rohr and Klingler Königsblau. I'll need our German friend who does all the pronunciations for me. This is fully in German, but it looks like a beautiful royal blue type of color. And then I've been looking for a good red ink. So all the listeners out there, give me your favorite red ink suggestions for fountain pens. I ordered the Diamine Wild Strawberry. It looked like a really bright, bold red, which is what I'm looking for. And while we're on the contact information, while I'm emptying out this envelope, you can get me at dowdyism. That's D-O-W-D-Y-I-S-M on Twitter. You can find me at penaddict.com. And you can also email me at penaddict. Oh, excuse me. Thepenaddict at gmail.com.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So what was the German-sounding one? Send me a link to that, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' The brand name. Yeah, I'll send you a link to the exact name. But the brand name is Rohr. It's R-O-H-R-E-R. And Klingner. K-L-I-N-G-N-E-R. And the color is called Königsblau. Which means something royal blue-like. So a bunch of pens in here.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I've got refills for my Charbo ST3, which I wanted to load up on since those refills go so fast. And I use that pen at work. But a lot of other pens. I will give you a hint. The giveaway pen I ordered is a fountain pen.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, nice.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So we'll stay mum on that. But Kuretake brush pen. Uni sign pens. Kumin pencil sharpener. I've got a lot of stuff this time.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You've got a lot of stuff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I did.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Maybe next week you'll be able to talk about the things that you really like from that order. Yes. And hopefully I will be able to wax lyrical about the vanishing point. Or will have just given up on it completely.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I hope you get it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I've got all this cool new stuff on my desk.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I haven't said anything too bad about you.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No, no. I'm listening. Yeah, and rate and review us on the iTunes store. We would appreciate it.
