== Retro 51 Bamboo ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' And the Retro 51 Bamboo, which I think is probably the best Retro 51 because it's slightly thicker, but it looks amazing. So the recipient of my gift gets what I consider to be maybe the Myke Hurley starter pack.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, it's totally cool. I mean, you could not have done any better. I think, you know, what we all picked out really personifies us in our tastes and likes to a T. I mean, everything is just like spot on perfect, I think.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. Yeah. That's actually a really good point. We did. Because, like, you know, if I was going to say, if you asked me before I got the Pro Gear, what's the best pen you own? It's the Lamy 2000. But I actually consider now, and I say this to people, I think when you get to a certain point in your pen addictness, you should own a Lamy 2000. I think it's in the same way that I think a Retro 51 is an essential pen for basically everyone. I believe that the Lamy 2000 is an essential pen addict's pen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. I could not agree more. All right. Let's give them away.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Cool. So we did some random drawing from the Kickstarter backers. And do you want me to do honors of mine and then you do yours? Sure. Yeah, go ahead. So the winner of honors pack is Mark North. So congratulations, Mark. The winner of mine is Ray Blake. And Brad?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' The winner of mine is Noble Ignatius.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So congratulations to the three of you on that. That is absolutely excellent gifts coming your way. Thank you so much for being backers. I apologize to everybody that didn't win. We'll do another in the future, maybe. Oh, yeah. So I guess probably the best thing to do right now, I'll say, is three of you, Mark, Ray, and Noble, contact us.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And I have all their, through the Kickstarter backer page, I have all their information. So I'm going to reach out directly.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Then there you go. Look out for something from Brad then. I didn't know because I have nothing to do with the Kickstarter. Right.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You have no visibility to that. So what I'm going to do, though, is I'm going to wait a couple days and see if they reach out to me to see if they're really listening.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Well, also, as well, I think it's more fun to find out by listening to the show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. So I'm not going to go out tonight and start emailing. I'll probably wait until like Monday or so.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'd give it a little bit longer than that, even.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Because I'm evil.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think it's more fun to find out you've won on the show than to see an email.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Very good. So, yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Congratulations to all of you. Some great stuff coming your way.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And seriously, thank you, everybody. And for all of our Kickstarter backers, I know we've found over y'all for a long time now and we're not done yet. The cases are almost done. There's the last bit of binding and so we might be looking at shipping next week, something like that. So it shouldn't be too much longer. We'll send out an update when they're ready to ship, but it's very, very close. They're almost done.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Cool. So I think that about wraps it up for this week.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes, sir. It does. And I appreciate you putting up with my voice and my mute button mashing. And hopefully I will be back in better shape next week, which is going to be Thursday again next week because I have asked us to... We have a Memorial Day holiday in the US and I am tied up Monday. So we're going to go Thursday, 4.30 Eastern time for your listening pleasure next week as well. Then we'll be back to our regular schedule.
