WRONG! Ididn't get a PM from you Carrie or don't I count!!!!!!!!!!!

Ian

I have no idea what you're talking about! Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to decide which of my Diamine inks I'm wearing to the show........



Ian - we all know that you don't need our phone numbers......you seem to be a sort of....'magnetic north'....for members of FPN as well all seem drawn repeatedly to your table........

If you've got a hood for a dove grey Parker 51, just put my name on it.

Somehow I kinda figured we'd be finding you before the 12:00 meeting - be afraid, be very afraid

Just noticed you've got the start time as 9:00 on your website, earlier than I thought. Will have to get myself organised earlier on Sunday.

Well it's 3.00am and I've just finished packing everything ready for the show! A few hours sleep and then load the car and off we go - then halfway up the M6 I'll probably remember what I've forgotten - if you see what I mean

I'll be bringing up a copy of David Shepherd's new book on the Parker Vacumatic, I got a preview copy on Thursday so if anyone wants to have a quick look just let me know on Sunday.

Really looking forward to seeing you all and to having a nice laid back time - I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See you all on Sunday!

Safe travels everyone.

Ian

hmmm, 24 hrs before I set off too.

Anyone know where to find the results of Friday's auction? I tried to register for it but failed, I also emailed Gerrards for details last weekend and got nothing back. So they didn't get any of my money this time...

only bringing a couple of pens up (just for show) - anyone interested seeing an original Sailor King of Pen or even a Nakaya Equilibrium?

see you all tomorrow

DIDNT MAKE IT YET AGAIN

Okay, photos on a new topic in Chatter - http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/in...showtopic=60801

This was my first show, and I really enjoyed it. I now realise that there are many other people with the same illness ! It was all a bit ovewhelming really.
Meeting everyone from FPN was great , and if anyone is interested in sending /receiving letters, then send me a PM.
Our collective purchases ranged from the very new (a worcester) to the very old (19th century dip ?) to just ink (thanks for the cartridges Ian), but I think there could have been some late purchases that I missed.
I wanted to try a vanishing point and a decimo , and to see the different Visconti Van Gough colours and I managed both (thank you)


Enjoy your pens everyone, and see you possily in Litchfield

John

I've managed to find my ink vials, so I might just have to start a topic about British ink swaps like we were discussing. I'm guessing there will be some people wanting to try out my Mont Blanc Bordeaux

John, was it you who bought the amaranth? Have you tried it yet? Intriguing ink, it really does vary its colour a lot and I can't blame any old ink residue because the Dinkie I've put it in has just been stripped down and resacced.

I bought the amaranth as well - must fill a pen with it tomorrow.

I can't imagine that the colour varies more than the Shell Pink! (Yes, your card arrived today! )

Glad to hear that my card reached you. Now if only I could remember if I actually did post the card that I wrote to Ann...

Edited - seem to have lost the ability to write simple sentences in English.
