This is my first time attending. Can you please tell me what do you usually do at pre-show? When should I sign up with the nib-master?

 

And yes, I'm nervous

 

 

What day are you arriving?

 

If you want Masuyama you need to loose the fear for 10 minutes and ASK where he is to sign up. Mike is awesome. He is quite and down to business especially when he is grinding. But very personable when you sit with him.

 

#1 priority when you arrive is find Mikes list and get your name on it.

 

Ill be set up at the Fountain Pen Day table in the main Atrium.... if you need help or assistance just stop over and ask.

After reading how much excited to attend the pre-show, I'll fly there late Wednesday, so I can go to the show on Thursday.

 

I definitely look for familiar screen-name and FB'see nicknames. Will you have this name on your name tag?

 

Thank you. I hope to see you.

So for the Friday pre-show, about how early to people start showing up? It's not entirely clear from the site and I've never tried to go on a pre-show date before.

Rick,

I think set up is around 8am. By 9 every table is usually filled.

I am not 100% sure if it is the same room as last year but I am trying to find out. I will be setup in the atrium so IF I don't find out till I get there and don't get it posted here.... Find me. I am going to be right next to the Vanness table and I am pretty easy to spot. Ill be there with Brad, Ana Reinert and Matt Armstrong.

 

I will make sure I tweet it and get it on the secondary instagram account for show pictures and info @FPDpenshow

 

AND... that room it was in is down the hall as you go between the Hotel Check-in Desk and Ink sample table.

Wish I could make it on Friday. Sounds like good time.

So excited. Live about an hour away. Wasn't able to go last year because of a woodworking accident on the 3rd of August. it was awesome.

 

 

Saw this on the DC Pen Show site:

Open 9:00 Early Admission to general public with Postcard
Open 10:00 to general public in local newspaper ads.
I have neither, what time can I show up?
Didn't really see any information here or on the DC Pen Show web page about the pre=show. What are the benefits? Will all the vendors be there?
Does anyone have an ink list of what's going to be available?

On Friday, if you're going to splurge for the weekend trader pass, show up whenever you want. On Saturday, if you plan to spend the day, I'd show up by 1030, that way you don't have to wait in line. If you don't mind waiting in line, show up early.

 

The newspaper ad should be in Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday's Washington Post.

Thanks Greg!

 

I was confused because they forgot to change the dates on the DC Pen Show website. See you all Saturday.

      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
