Editing The Pen Addict 340/transcript (section)

== Pen Show Discussion Shift ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. Fibber says, what pen was on the desk of Queen Elizabeth during her Christmas speech? Did you see this, Myke? Oh, by the way, dates are up for Atlanta.

'''Myke Hurley:''' We should share those. Oh, yes. We should, but I don't have them right in front of me. Atlanta pen show will be April 5th to 7th, so it's early this year. Yeah. First weekend in April. We are working on the Kickstarter campaign. We are going to be doing that again, and obviously Atlanta is one of the huge parts of that, so book now, I guess. It's why we exist. Yeah. Yep, so we will be there. We can't wait, and we hope to see you there April 5th to 7th.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep, perfect. All right, so the Queen Elizabeth Christmas speech, is that a must-see TV at home for you? Yeah, but I missed it by accident this year for, like, the first time. Gotcha. Gotcha. Did you catch it on replay? I haven't yet, no. So, apparently, like, I only saw the pictures afterwards where everyone was asking, what pen is she using? What pen is she using? So, I went to the huge Reddit fountain pens group, which is actually pretty amazing, and I knew they would have some dissertations on what pen she was using, and apparently, it's the same pen as last year, and it's a Parker Dual Fold International, and that's kind of what it looks like from the pictures. It's a lot to say it's the same pen.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's probably not the same pen. They have the pictures, Myke. Are you doubting Reddit? I 100% doubt that it is the same pen, and we talk, like, I'm talking here that, like, it might be a Parker Dual Fold, but it's not the same one. Come on. Did you look at the pictures? Yeah, I looked at the pictures.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You think she just has

'''Fibber McGee:''' one of them?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I mean, it's a standard black double ring Parker Dual Fold. No, do I think she has one of them? No, but I think it's, she might have 20 of them, but it's the same. That's what I mean. It's the same model.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's the same model, yeah, yeah, and I'm not saying that people are saying it's the same one, but I just wanted to say that, like, I don't believe it's going to be the same one. Maybe it's her favorite one.

'''Fibber McGee:''' Myke, it's not going to be, though, surely. Pedantic. Pedantic. I'm not being pedantic. I'm just trying to help.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right, let's wrap it up on some knowledge here, Myke. I love this link from Tautsu, and this is a link to a post on maybe my favorite pen blog in the world, which is Chronikos Estilograficos, which is Bruno Taut's treatise on mostly Japanese pens, and I'll just leave this link for y'all to read, because it's a little long, and I want to read the whole thing, but what we have always called, or I have always called, a kimono, like, that goes on a pen, like a single sheath pen wrap, like you get in a Nakaya. I've always called it a kimono. A lot of other people call it a kimono. Apparently, it might be called a katana bakuro, which means a bag for the sword. So, I think y'all should just go read this post, see what you think, and decide if we are actually using the term kimono incorrectly for this single sheath pen sleeve. So, it's very cool. I love this post. This is the kind of stuff that I really get into. I don't know why, it's just me, but I thought it was super cool.
