Editing The Pen Addict 269/transcript (section)

== Kickstarter Backers ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' And, again, I apologize, Jonathan, for calling you something you're not. What's happened to me today? Oh, my. So, before we move on, should we do some, like, pen show-related admin?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because there's a couple of things for our Kickstarter backers. So, I recorded a bunch of video for the vlog that I'm going to be putting together at the D.C. Pen Show. So, that's coming soon. I'm going to start working on it this week. I don't know how long it's going to take me because I never do with these things. So, if it's not out before the next episode, I'll know on the next episode when it will be out, if that makes sense. Wow. That's crazy. That's fast. Typically, these things don't take a lot of time once I really get in the groove of them. So, if it's not out before next week, I'll have an update next week on when it will be out.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Cool. And I didn't get to see any of the video or I haven't looked at any of the video, but Jeff saw some and he thought it was really awesome. There's a lot. There's a lot of Topgolf stuff. The pre-edited stuff.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's kind of sketchy. We had a really wild game of Topgolf, which was fantastic. So, there's a bunch of that in there, including lots of super powerful pro golfing from Brad Downey. No. The golf pro. Brad Downey. So, that's all in there. So, that's that. And, of course, there's also the physical thing, the Cappello, right? That's coming close now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. So, yes. Related, I sent out the backer surveys for addresses for the Cappello. It started to show up. Our manufacturer is so weird. This is taking, like, way longer. This is why we put everything out so late or it takes so long to get things done. It's just bureaucracy. So, we had in a kind of a, I don't know what you call it, like a temporary run just to be sure that everything. We're into, like, quadruple checking, but we're in full motion now. So, I expect, you know, more cases to arrive late this week, early next week. So, we'll probably start shipping out late next week, I think, at the earliest. Excellent. It's kind of tracking. But, first units are in. You know, we got a box full yesterday. And, the production line's moving. I confirm that, like, every day. Like, what's going on. Then, I usually get, you know, an end-of-the-day list on what's actually being shipped. But, I haven't seen those yet. But, I should expect more Friday than rolling in every day next week. And, then it just takes us some time to inspect and ship and coordinate. You know, shipping is always a coordination thing with, you know, ship station and stuff. It's always some kind of nightmare. So, hopefully, we won't have it as bad as we had it with the Lanier, which is super, super mess. But, yes. So, your surveys are out. So, be sure to look for that from Kickstarter to give us your current address. And, we will get that out to you pretty darn soon. You know, it will definitely be before the end of the month. That's the way everything's looking.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Great.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, hooray on time. Even though it took forever, but we planned on it taking forever. So, we'll actually hit the forever mark. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Woo-hoo. Look at us. So productive.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's like you feel right by hitting the date, but it's taken stupidly long.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. It's like we hit the date that was the date that was meant to be the maximum. Right. Exactly. This is how you plan for Kickstarters, kids. If it's one thing that everybody's learned over time. Maximum amount of time plus two months is the way that you want to focus on these things. All right.
