== Burton Case ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Nice. All right. Next question comes from Ryan. I received my Burton case. That was our Kickstarter reward. And Ryan loves it. Thank you, Ryan, for your support.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, big love for the Burton.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yes. Oh, I've been using mine on when we're in Copenhagen. It's a great, like, bag for inside of my carry-on. Yep. I love it. It's wonderful.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We'll have some more for sale, like, in a month or so. Ooh.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Ooh. Ooh, look at that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, not many. So, I will make sure everyone knows because everyone's asking. So, I just want to throw that out there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, you know, I'll just say there's an easy way to get one. You should have backed a Kickstarter campaign. That's all I'm going to say on that matter. But going back to Ryan's question, I've planned on using it as a writer's kit for NaNoWriMo. I have a list of things that I want to have in the kit and a few ideas. However, I thought I would use this as a chance to get some opinions on the stuff that I have from the two of you. So, time for each of you to build a writer's kit. I need two fountain pens that are the right size and weight to write for long sessions, preferably one piston filler, one cartridge or converter pen. One pen that takes the P8126 refill. So, that's the Retro 51 refill, again, for long writing sessions. An A5 that is lined and does not allow a lot of ghosting. A bold black ink. I need something no smaller than a fine. I need it to be bold enough and dark enough to be able to be read by an OCR reader to try and convert it later. Looking forward to both of your ideas. I would like to tag team this.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Well, it's not as difficult as it seems, which maybe isn't the answer that Ryan wants. But what is your tag team ideas?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, I'm just thinking we could work together because I don't know how different our answer is going to be. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I mean, I can tell you for the piston filling pen, and you may not even want a cartridge converter, and for a long writing session, and for a fine nib, and to use a black ink, I would use the Lamy 2000.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Ooh.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Like, we don't talk about that a lot. Well, it's just a great pen. For this situation, it sounds like the ideal choice to tick off so many boxes in one shot that you would be pretty happy.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because it's a long pen. So if you're writing for a long time, I bet it has a good ink capacity, right? And it's lightweight. Very lightweight. It feels warm to the touch, right? So it's comfortable to hold over long periods of time. The Lamy 2000 is an excellent choice here, but this is something I was saying this to Edina when we were in that store in Copenhagen. Ed is underrated. Like, it is one of the very best fountain pens ever made. It's become underrated. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It has... It was so overrated, it has now become underrated. I agree.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's gotten lost. I agree. But yeah, that is a really great... I don't know why two fountain pens. I don't know the reason for that.
