	'''Myke Hurley:''' The entire area has just been burned down. And so, obviously, one of the reasons that I wanted to talk about in this show is because we have such a great partnership with Canalea. Canalea is panzool inspired by Hawaii. And, you know, Carol and Hugh, they do a lot to try and give back to the Hawaiian people because similarly to the way that I feel, you know, like they in their lives are taken from Hawaii. And they've taken like images from Hawaii to help produce products. Like it gives them inspiration. And so they make sure to give back to the community, which I really enjoy and think is good. And obviously, they are wanting to increase their efforts right now. Canalea have a thing going on around this and we wanted to promote it. So we're going to share. This is from Hugh and Carol. So they say, our hearts are with the wonderful people of Maui. In addition to making a personal donation, we will donate a portion of Canalea's proceeds from our August sales, both online and from the DC and upcoming San Francisco pen shows to Maui's ongoing disaster relief. Please consider purchasing this month to support the Lahaina community and this beautiful island. In addition, at the upcoming pen show in San Francisco, we will have a no purchase necessary Maui collection envelope at our tables. All funds collected will be sent the week following the show to these three Maui disaster recovery and relief organizations, the Maui Food Bank, the Hawaiian Red Corps and the Maui Humane Society. These three organizations are excellent options for pen addict listeners wishing to donate directly. I also donated personally to the Hawaii Community Foundation. They've set up kind of like a Maui strong thing. This is like when I was looking around because it's so difficult when these kinds of things happen and you want to give. And it's like, where do I give money to? And on a lot of like Hawaii government accounts and stuff, they were linking to this, the Hawaii Community Foundation. So I wanted to share this. I hope that pen addict listeners are aware of it. And I hope that people that feel emotionally towards this can see it in their hearts to give to, you know, however you give. You know, like it's a good excuse to buy the canalea pen you've been eyeing. So you and Carol are going to donate. Or if you just want to give, you can do that to a number of great institutions. These people may know how to help.		'''Myke Hurley:''' The entire area has just been burned down.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' Historically, the ~~stationary~~ community has always been a really good supporter of the causes that are important in the world. Causes that are important to a lot of people. Causes that are important that impact like our friends and families and everyone directly. So it's always great to see the rallying around the causes. We also have some good friends in the community doing fun stuff.

Getting several makers to collaborate, you know, different makers making different parts for the pen and putting it together and raising funds that way.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And it's just going, you have to budget accordingly for your visit to Bocamundo.		'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And it's just going, you have to budget accordingly for your visit to Bocamundo.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh my God, Brad. Just go look, right? Just go look because this is not stuff you see. And this is one of the great things about pen shows, which we've been talking about for years, right? You get to see stuff in person that you may have only seen online. And Hiroko's artwork is just amazing. And the craftsmanship is out of this world. And you definitely just want to go see it, right? Like the artwork, the Arushi art, the, you know, all the different inlays, all the different styles, all the different colors, um, and just the craftsmanship is, is unbelievable. So make sure you find a Bocamundo if you're going to be there at the San Francisco pen show and check them out. So that is the shout out of the week. And it is again, between the Enigma ~~stationary~~ pen and now this, like we're, we're just getting into like the full jealousy phase of not, not being there this year. So I will get yelled at, uh, a bunch during the show, Brad, look what I found. And I'm going to be, I'm just going to have to, I need, I just need to go out of town and like into the, into the world wilderness during, uh, San Francisco pen show.

	'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And they are going to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting for these projects I have coming up, Myke. So I am, uh, I am flush with review products, right? I've got pins, I've got inks, I've got paper, I've got new storage. I've got all kinds of things. I've got like months and months worth of reviews to do, but I have other kind of project articles that I am working on. These are things I've been mentioning for a while. And I just wanted to give a quick update, like over the next few weeks, like, I don't know that I'm going to do a lot of product reviews. I'm going to be doing these project type articles. So the first one coming up on Monday, and I, did we talk about this? I guess we talk about this. Um, I'm assuming you know this, but I, I built 49 ink samples for the San Francisco pen show. And that was a kind of a big project for me, um, to number one, agree to like, what was I thinking? It was like, Hey, can you make 49 ink samples for an ink testing station? Um, so I'm writing that process up, right? So like, I'm going to write up an article. I wanted to do it before the, uh, before the pen show hit, because I did a lot of this work on Twitch and every time I would do it, people were always asking like, what are you using? How are you doing this? The chat helped me like even buy products to make it go easier for me. So I know ink samples are very popular in our community. They're a good way to try test and test inks without having to commit to like the, the larger price of in larger volume of the bigger ink bottles. So I think people will like that on top of that, like right on top of that, I have all these pilot nibs, which we talked about, I don't know, several weeks ago when I got them. So I'm close to publishing an article for that. That might be the following week where I have all 15 of pilots nibs that they offer in the nine 12 series. And there's some really cool stuff in there that I want to talk about. So I have that coming up. Then you asked me, I don't know, again, a month or so ago, Hey, what's the Panatic 100 update? Well, I think I'm changing that. I'm moving the goalposts on that mic, but I think it's going to work out. Okay. Um, I'm going to change this into more of a top 100, uh, personal collection pins. So that is something I'm working on. So for that is going to come up in the next, I don't know, month, probably in September. And guess what? September is Myke. That's when we, and you and Relay FM really focuses on all of the great work we do, uh, for St. Jude. I know you're going to have a lot more to say about that coming soon. But one of the things that I've been working on already is collecting, uh, donations for the big raffle that we do to raise funds on the pen addict. So like I have all of these things coming up and this is, um, an interesting place to be when I just generally worry about reviews and I'm doing all this other stuff and I'm pretty happy about it. Right. This is some neat stuff that I'm doing. So I'm also at the same time going, well, I'm sitting here and using this pen or that pen or this ink and I want to talk about that. So how do I share those two? So I don't know, maybe I'll double up on reviews some week. Um, we'll, we'll see. I don't, I don't want to write a check that I can't cash, but, uh, like, I don't know, I guess it's just a good time to be a pen addict right now. I'm excited about everything that's going on. Um, you know, even with the San Francisco pen show that we're not going to be at and, and seeing all that excitement, like I'm excited for everyone going there and having a great time. I've got one more pen show this year, Orlando at the beginning of September. So I'll be talking about that. So like my next two months, I'm thinking, how am I going to review any of these pens or inks that I have here? Because I have so much other stuff to talk about and that's a good place to be. Like I'm feeling like pretty positive about the work and the community and just the whole ~~stationary~~ space. Like things are, uh, things are going pretty well and it's nice to be able to talk about like not just always a review, even though like that's my favorite thing to do. Like give me, give me the next big ballpoint pen to review and I will be a happy camper, but it's kind of neat to be able to talk about some of these bigger, broader topics as well.
