== Chicago Show ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, what do you think then Brad is, uh, is the Chicago show going to make it on to the Dowdy calendar? Cause like, what have we got? Obviously like, um, obviously Atlanta's there and DC probably is right.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' DC is pretty much a lock. Um, you know, I haven't been to that many pin shows in the grand scheme of things. So I'm like raving about Chicago, but my, my point of comparison is pretty small. It's LA, DC, Atlanta, Chicago, right? Um, I love the setup of Chicago, the feel of the show. Chicago was really great. Um, it's not as big as LA. It's nowhere near the size of DC. It's bigger than Atlanta. Um, I would love to go there every year. You know, one of these days I'll go to a show just as, just as an, an, an, an attendee. You know, I, I like the fact that I can work for Van S and, and get to go to all these shows. Um, you know, one of these times I'm going to pick a show and just show up to go to it. You know, that would be kind of fun. And, you know, maybe down the line said Chicago is so close to Atlanta right now, maybe down the line, Chicago is that show. Yeah. Okay. Well, it was absolutely fantastic. Not a negative word to say about that show. I mean, the promoters, they were talking to us all the time, like checking in on us. Like we could get them anytime to just come say hi, you know, do you need this? Is everything going okay? Oh, we have a problem with the chairs blocking this area and they handle it. You know, things like that. They did. Roger Wooten did an amazing job, um, promoting this show. Everyone that was working for him did an amazing job.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's definitely like a highlight show. Like I will remember this show just because it was so smooth. It ran so well. Um, and you know, the actual, you know, in our parlance, the content was great. If you will, if that makes sense.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Yeah. I get it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So I would, I would love to go to this show again. It was fantastic. I mean, not, not a negative word to say about it. It was awesome.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, I would, I'm interested to see if there's a way that I can try and make it work. I'll think about this next year. If it was the next week, then I would do it. Right. Because there's like a couple of weeks in between that makes it even harder.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. Right. You know, maybe one of these years, you know, the podcast travels, right? We've talked about that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. That could be a thing like that. We, we do it in Chicago, which could be fun because I'm sure that there are people that couldn't get to there easier than they can get to Atlanta. Yep. So it might be a thing. That might be a thing. I'm sure I'll have a reason to go to Chicago. Yeah. Aside from the pen show. Because that's my main thing is I want to go to Chicago, the city. Yes. Well, I know I've said this maybe on every show for the last four weeks, but there you go. Everybody knows it's a fact. It's a lockdown. And now knowing that the pen shows were good, that'd be great. And if the promoters seem really tuned in, then maybe they would, maybe they would like for us to be there.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. That would be very cool. And they would be absolutely receptive to that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Cool. All right. Well, I'm pleased that you enjoyed it. Oh yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Absolute blast. Loved every minute of it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Good stuff. And when are you next off?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Not till DC. There might be some things in the work in between. I would say they're not likely to happen. So I'm not going to bother even saying them. So it's most likely DC, which is August, which I'm good with. I need a break. Yeah, no doubt. That stuff's exhausting. I was exhausted every night.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's hard work.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. You're just going the whole time.
