We discuss Blackwing Eras pencils, the Zequenz Notebook, Wreck This Journal, and Parbuckle's Coffee. And briefly Ryan Walsh's Astral Weeks and Maurice Carlos Ruffin's We Cast A Shadow.

If you could only use one pencil for the rest of your days, would you choose the utilitarian standby or the flashies in the jar?

Ted and Adam discuss classic misprints, dimbulbery, the Atomic bomb, Beatles purple, task quadrants, and the goosebumpy moments of The Tweedy Show.

Ryan Slie joins us (which he does every tenth episode) to talk about fiction, factions, fractions, and other distractions.

This week we dream about reality, meet virtually, cross books Bookcrossingly, and discuss Blackwing Volume 3.

We discuss Field Notes Summer release, Heavy Duty, and the edition they've made for Third Man Records. Plus the Summer pencil box from CW Pencils.

An arthritis commercial mesmerizes Adam and his family, and other rips in the fabric of space-time. The rip unleashes an old email about Jimmy Buffett tunes.

In this episode, we talk about t-shirt scams that aren't scams, losing your notebook, clipping and pasting things, tabletop baseball, and Take Note's trivia night. This episode was recorded before the recent protests against police brutality and the death of George Floyd in the United States and beyond. Black lives matter.

A murder mystery so mysterious it may not even exist, and we talk more Deader Prints, French New Wave cinema, Musgrave, and more.

We're hosting a meetup on May 23 at 11 PM Eastern/8 Pacific. There will be a real trivia game with a leaderboard, buzzers, and general knowledge trivia (plus some stationery Qs thrown in). Sign up at bit.ly/takenotetrivia
