Open House At Peyton Street Pens On June 2

[terim]

Though we are a little later than usual this year, we’re having our annual Pen Posse Open House on June 2^nd at Peyton Street Pens in Santa Cruz.

 

Hours: 1pm to 6pm

 

Where: 239 Peyton Street, Santa Cruz, California

Here are directions: https://www.google.com/maps/place/239+Peyton+St,+Santa+Cruz,+CA+95060

 

What to expect:

• Free food and beverages (we will probably do tacqueria again this year)
• Ice cream from Mariannes (a popular tradition) -- also free
• Crazy pen people who will bring pens and inks to share and show off
• Bins of cheap pens and pencils as well as some free stuff
• Pens to look at and try. (We will have new pens from Ranga and Osprey)
• Additionally, you can check out some of the "Peyton Street Pen Works" pens we are creating

 

Special activity: This year we are trying something new that people may enjoy – pen blank casting. We will be able to allow visitors to create and cast their own alumilite pen blanks. We will have the capacity to allow 4-5 people at a time to mix colors and pour the goop into the molds, and we will have two pressure pots set up to cure the blanks without bubbles. This is going to be free for our guests, but as you can imagine (since the blanks need to cure for an hour) we probably won’t be able to accommodate everyone. What you do with the pen blanks will be up to you!

 

Feel free to bring pens to sell and trade. There are usually a few people who can help with advice, repairs and nib adjustments.

 

Looking forward to seeing you on June 2^nd!

This sounds really awesome, wish I could go! Unfortunately, that is also the date and (exact) time of a close friend's birthday party in San Francisco, so alas... I doubt I could swing both :/ Casting pen blanks sounds really fun!

It's hardly your fault that my friend decided to celebrate her birthday that day, no worries! I'm new, so I didn't know this was even a thing the group did, and it sounds exciting Hoping I'll be able to make it next year, and please post pictures of some of the pen blanks people make

Sorry, terim, but I checked the drive-time (around noon) and it had expanded a lot to over 1.5 hours. Going over the hill to SC on a wonderfully warm and sunny day is too attractive for MANY MANY people. Next time... Have fun.

It was well worth the drive (1:15 from SSF) in so many ways!

 

Good food! Good friends! Good pens!

Rub it in... I know, I know....

[terim]

I'll do it earlier next year so that we can reduce some of the beach traffic .....

 

It was a really fun even for us, thanks to everyone who came by.
