	'''Brad Dowdy:''' I did. I did. I saw that a couple days ago, and that's unbelievable. So this is going to – I keep every day, or at least every other day, I have someone else tweeting me or emailing me. I'm coming to the Pen Show. So I hope the organizers of the Pen Show understand what they're getting into, and I have it on good accord that they have no clue what's about to happen.		'''Brad Dowdy:''' I did. I did.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' We have radioed down on the Pen Show. We are. It's going to be awesome. I'm so excited. If you hear this, by the way, as we record today, which is the 16th of February, you have nine days left to back the Kickstarter project to get yourself a video version of a live recorded episode. Episode 150 of the ~~Penn~~ Addict in beautiful serendipity will be recorded, and you will be able to get yourself a video version of it if you back our Kickstarter project. If not, you will have to deal with the audio, which is fine, but you won't get to see the tears in Brad's eyes.		'''Myke Hurley:''' We have radioed down on the Pen Show. We are.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's right. That's right. And all the special – I've got to put on my Myke Hurley producer hat and book a bunch of special guests, so I'm going to work on that. So you'll want to see video of that, and it should happen. I see no reason why it won't.		'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's right. That's right.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's the, the title of it is how the way you write changes the way you think. I mean, it's definitely something we believe in. So I'll, we'll throw that in the show notes for everyone to check out. And I need to finish watching that, but he's, he talks about the same thing about how all the big news outlets are talking about, you know, the death of handwriting, the death of analog tools, things like that. So definitely worth checking out. So, all right. I got a few more things to get to. We're going to be able to get it done today, Michael.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm sure we will. But before we do that, I want to talk about our third and final sponsor for this week, our friends over at Pen Chalet. Pen Chalet sell authentic, amazing roller balls, fountain pens, ballpoint, mechanical pencils, and so much more. They have all of your favorite brands like Monteverde, Pelican, Lamy, Pilot, Namiki, Sailor, and Kaweco, and are, of course, an authorized dealer of all of them. They have special discounts all of the time. You can go over to Pen Chalet and see what sort of deals they're running. They're really great at all of that stuff. They have great deals for us. We'll talk about that in a moment. They're very fast and reliable customer service, as always. And they're always adding new styles of pens every single month. As well as the brands I mentioned earlier, Pen Chalet sells limited edition pens, as well as the accessories that you're going to need, like pen carrying cases, pen holders, refills, fountain pen converters, and so much more. Pen Chalet do sell internationally with very reasonable shipping rates, but of course, they also sell in the continental United States with free shipping on orders over $50. Pen Chalet has low prices on high quality pens, and they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. So go to ~~PennChalet~~.com and use the code ~~PennAddict~~ to get 10% off your order, or click the podcast link at the top of the website and enter ~~PennAddict~~ for even more savings, as well as your 10% off. And those savings that you're going to find this week, still got some fantastic stuff over there. They want us to let you know, and you definitely should know, Pen Chalet still have the Kaweco Art Sport. They're still up there, Brad.		'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm sure we will.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's such a hot pen. It's a really, really good pen.		'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's such a hot pen. It's a really, really good pen.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' And they're doing that at such a great deal. You can pick one of those up for $72.90 after the special sale and after the ~~PennAddict~~ 10% coupon. It's 40% off. They retail for $135. And we mentioned last week as well, the Platinum 3776. They have the regular and demonstrator versions. The regular version, so the non-demonstrator version is $108. After all the discounts, that retails at $200. And the demonstrator version is $135, retailing at $250. I believe, Brad, I'm going to say this terribly, the models that they have are the Nice Per Sai and Shoji models over at Pen Chalet.		'''Myke Hurley:''' And they're doing that at such a great deal.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' So those are the demonstrator 3776 models that they've made for the lakes, some of the lakes in Japan. And so they're this demonstrator. Some of them have kind of a blue tint to them. I actually own the Sai. It's one of my favorite pens. The nibs on Platinum pens are amazing. It's one of my favorite nibs. And, you know, unlike you, I'm a huge fan of the demonstrator. So I like seeing the ink in the converter in those pens. And I love seeing the nibs on all the Platinum stuff because they really, really work good. One other thing I wanted to show you, Myke, on Pen Chalet. Have you seen their fountain pen inks infographic? I almost called it ink-fographic, which maybe they should have done.
