I plan on going to the show this year!

I have not been to the DC show before.

I've been to the NY/NJ show,

and the Philly show several times!

I look forward to it all year long. I do wish that the show's website was more up-to-date regarding what's going on this year--still a lot of 2008 show information and it's less than 2 months away!

Gah! I've been looking forward to the show since I missed the show last year - but as it turns out, I have to fly to Minnesota for a wedding that weekend.

Will be there, my third. Plan to leave all plastic at home :)

 

Great idea. Last year, I ended up making 2 trips to the ATM in the lobby. :-)

Are they going to update the links? The show isn't that far off and it would be nice to know if there are shuttles etc available.

Richard, your list is a mile long of folks waiting for you to work on their pens. It's a wonder you get a free moment at all during the show. Are you planning to teach another seminar? No schedule is yet posted.

Cash saved up from lunch money - hopefully enough to buy some ink.

Any chance that there will be some of the new Noodler's V-Mail inks? Maybe Chuck Swisher will bring some.

Already made our hotel reservations and look forward to seeing many of you at this show. As for ink, I am trying to get an extra table, if I do I plan to bring most of the Noodler's inks. If not I will still bring the V-mail series (including the Dark Matter). C'ya in August!

 

Best wishes,

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
