Chicago Pen Show


Beakem

Recommended Posts

I have never attended a Pen Show, but would enjoy it, I'm certain.

 

I read somewhere recently on a posting somewhere in internet world a reference to the 'upcoming' Chicago Pen Show.

 

Anyone know if, when, and where it would be?

 

Thanks. :drool:

A great resource for pen shows is susan Wirth's pen show calandar

This is where I found info on the 2005 Chicago pen show:

If you've never been to a show before, I highly recommend Richards 3 part article on first time showgoing which can be found at www.richardspens.com under reference info (see navigation bar on the left to get there) - then scroll down to Miscellaneous Articles. There you'll find "Pen Shows I, II, and III"

 

Good luck!

Hi Beakem -

 

Our FPNet calendar is not up to date, but the Chicago Pen Show is in April. Here is the home page for the site.

 

I am considering trying to attend, so if you go, let me know!

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      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
