Pre-La Pen Posse: The Aftermath

[AltecGreen]

I guess we all survived and no one was hurt.

 

 

This lived up to the billing as inkamegeddon and one of the livelier Posses.

 

 

Most people came for the first crack at the stuff Straits Pens from Singapore brought before we all head to the LA Pen Show later this week.

 

This is what we came for.

 

 

The quiet before the storm

 

 

 

There were so many people that it almost became standing room nly and the poor servers had to break out the carts to hold all of the drinks. A Pen Posse first.

 

 

Farmboy didn't care and just worked on people's pens as always.

 

 

Once people finished eating, the stuff came out.

 

 

The main event was the 69 bottles of Kingdom Note inks. I ended up coming with a NFL draft style system to make it fair for everyone. We drew numbers for each round and people picked an ink as their number was called. We did four rounds of this and it went smoothly. I did have to waive my normal right of first refusal for these inks but everyone got something.

 

 

 

Katherine no. 1 brought extra snacks for us. Ink and pen cookies and bread pudding. Yay!

 

 

 

 

There was other stuff too. The mythical A3 sized Tomoe River. There were many reams but they were all gone in five minutes.

Haven't watched these clips (watched a couple on FB) -- it's EEK! 5:00 am, and I have to get to bed.

 

But that first picture reminds me of Gale's coming to Pen Posse. Hahaha.

 

Anyway, looked like a massively great time. I don't know why Kingdom Note is highly desired (I prefer easily-obtainable inks), but everyone looked very happy. Hooray!

Man, was that a Pen Posse or a Pen Show?

 

Looks like quite a great time! Thanks for the report and the videos, Ricky. Wish I weren't 2/3 of a continent away.
