	'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, cool.		'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, cool.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' There's a class about buying and selling on eBay. There's Fountain Pen 101. There's Swirls and Twirls with our good friend Aziza from Gourmet Pens. There's Origami class. There's Cityscape drawing tips from the Urban Sketchers Baltimore. Like, it's just on and on and on. There's a Meet the Makers paper goods edition that Anna's hosting on Saturday afternoon. At 7 p.m., I'm hosting Pen Show Jeopardy. Myke, we're going to have a game show. So, this is just, like, nonstop. Like, this is so fun for people who come to the Pen Show and are able to spend a night at the show and go to events. So, I just wanted to thank the Baltimore Pen Show and everyone who's putting that on for, like, for putting the effort into building an event other than just a Pen Show, right? This is a Pen event, I feel. So, I'm excited. I'm bringing ~~NOC~~. I'll be there Thursday afternoon. I'll be there all the way through Sunday. I don't come back until Monday morning. And so, I did get the question on what I'm bringing to the show, like, Pen Wise. And I don't bring too much when I'm working the whole show, you know, to show off in the bar or do, like, after-hours activities. Because I will be working during the day. So, I don't want to have as much time to share. But I am bringing a few things. And if you happen to catch this episode before I leave and are going to be there and want me to bring something specific, just let me know. Because I took requests yesterday. And from that request, I'm bringing the Monte Grappa per request. So, yeah, if you want to check out pens that you're interested in that I might have and you want to see, try before you buy or just get an idea, let me know. But I'm bringing a Nakaya Piccolo because I've inked it up with the Platinum Blue Black Mount Fuji ink, which is, like, one of my favorite things to say. I don't know why that ink has gotten to me like it has. I'm bringing the Leonardo I mentioned. I'm bringing a Shown Design Pocket 6. I'm bringing a spoke design prototype, which I want to get some feedback on. I couldn't say that too loud.		'''Myke Hurley:''' There's a class about buying and selling on eBay.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' But I want to get some feedback on that. And, yeah, I'm excited. It's, like, show two of the year. The first one I'm working. This is the first normal show I'm going to where I'll feel right at home working the entire show as opposed to Philadelphia where I just wandered around the entire show, which is a great experience all by itself. But, yeah, I'm ready. Baltimore is going to be fun. It's become one of the must-attend events for the Pen Shoes Circuit, in my opinion. And I don't think that opinion – I'm alone in that opinion. I think it's a great show.		'''Myke Hurley:''' But I want to get some feedback on that. And, yeah, I'm excited. It's, like, show two of the year. The first one I'm working.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' God. We were talking last night. I was like, we were both sending each other, like, panic gifts for, like, what we're going to write for the show tomorrow. And then I just, like, spewed everything out onto the dock. So, it works out that way sometimes. Mm-hmm. Baltimore ~~Penn~~ Show. I'm leaving tomorrow, Myke. This will be my third time. And it's been bigger and better every time that I've been. And I see no end in sight. All you have to do for the Baltimore ~~Penn~~ Show is go to their website and then go to the events schedule 2020. I would like to not read the entirety of this list, but I would like to read some highlights, if you will, to give people an idea of what a ~~Penn~~ Show is like outside of the ~~Penn~~ Show floor. Like, we talk about this a lot, right? We talk about, okay, it's great to go to the ~~Penn~~ Show for the stuff, but there's so much going on, like, outside of the showroom floor that if you're able to take advantage of these things, it'll just make your ~~Penn~~ Show experience completely better. Like, it's not required by any means. Like, you can go and have a great time. And, you know, some people only have a few hours to spare on, you know, Saturday morning, you know, before their family's up and about and they just want to go into the show. But if you have time to spend an extended amount of time, like a Friday, Saturday at a show, these are some of the things you can check out. And this is one of the shows that really expands on those things. So, Friday, there's Italics with Nick Pang. There's Our Pens, Our Stories with Michael Kawaji-Hiland. I don't know if I pronounced that right. And then there's the Erasable Podcast, live podcast, after show hours at 7 p.m. Friday night. So, yeah, I'm going to get to go to that. That's going to be fun.		'''Myke Hurley:''' God. We were talking last night. I was like, we were both sending each other, like, panic gifts for, like, what we're going to write for the show tomorrow.

	'''Myke Hurley:''' Saturday, there's a Zentangles class. Like, I would love that. I don't know if you're familiar with Zentangles, Myke, but it's a little, like, it's almost like Mandela drawing, but different types of patterns and things.
