== Stationery Storage Habits ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you. All right. So, changing course here. Sir Jerkface wants to know, does Myke have an equivalent of Brad's closet of doom? Basically, my stationary closet of death where everything goes to be piled up and hopefully not die, hopefully to be used or given away at some point. But do you have any type of crazy stash of stationary?

'''Myke Madison:''' Unlike you, I'm real bad at confining my crazy doom stash into a particular place. So, it's kind of, my whole office is the closet of doom. I've got a cabinet where my ink lives and I've got a couple of places where I cram notebooks and that sort of thing. But yeah, everything just kind of, it's all over the place. The answer is yes. And it is my whole office. Yes, all of it. Yeah. Right.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It's hard. Like my stuff on my desk, I keep a separate pile that's on its way to the closet of doom. Right. So, there's, I have like the closet and I have my desk and then I actually have a transition area of doom. So, you know. A transition area of doom. Because it's headed that way.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, Beth asked, do y'all have any EDC items, especially for summer events? Do they differ from school year stuff you carry? I'll tackle this one first. And I do because my son plays baseball. So, I'm out at a ball field a lot. And I'll almost strictly carry either a wooden pencil, mechanical pencil, or a ballpoint. I won't carry a rollerball ink or a fountain pen ink pen in those types of situations. And it's almost always with a pocket notebook of some type. So, not specifically a pocket notebook. Whereas opposed to, if I wasn't doing like summer events, like going out and being sweaty and dirty, like, you know, baseball or doing anything else outside, I would carry, you know, most like more times than not, I'm carrying a fountain pen. But those situations just do not call for that. So, do you have anything like that?

'''Myke Madison:''' You know, I actually carry less stuff around in the summer because I'm not going to classes and such. So, no, not really. I just carry less.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. And that's kind of on that same thing. Like, when it's not summertime and I'm doing things, I'll carry a pen case of something a lot of times or just a sleeve of something. But yeah. Yeah, right. It's just way, way less in summer and outdoors. Unicorn Cat asks, and we need to pimp your store here. So, what made you guys decide to do the polymer clay ink stand? So, let me preface that by saying you can go to the Ink Dependent Store at inkdependentstore.bigcartel.com or just go to the shortened URL, inky, I-N-K-Y-D.com. We'll have all this in the show notes. Myke sells stuff. So, number one, tell us about your store. Then, number two, tell us about the pen rests.
