#Introduction time!
My name is Brad, and I talk about stationery. A lot. And in a lot of places:
Blog: PenAddict.com
Podcast: Relay.fm/penaddict
Twitch: Twitch.tv/penaddict
I also make pens at SpokeDesign.com.
Music, Art, Books, Games, and yes, even Sporstball Skeets will be happening, too.

I reached out to some internet friends to see if they wanted to exchange physical letters with me.
I asked a fair few because I assumed I'd only get like 2 or 3 folks to be interested.
I wrote my 8th letter earlier this morning. I have more to write. lol
I think there's a hunger here.
