I saw some posts that said "no" recently from other SF based forum members, but have heard no official report...I continue to hope but don't know.

Thanks for your response, although I hope your information turns out untrue.

I saw this question before leaving for Pen Posse yesterday and almost answered, "Definitely not." Then, I thought I would ask at Pen Posse, since there have been many discussions about how to make the SF Pen Show happen, expecting a confirmation of my original answer.

 

But it sounds like there might be a Hail Mary pass in play.

 

It is mid-August. Can someone pull off the SF Pen Show in two months?

 

I say it is unlikely, but... I have seen what committed wills can achieve. So... I'm less sure now that there will not be a pen show here in October. This is turning out to be a cliffhanger.

I have e-mailed a vendor I hoped to see at the SF Pen Show, curious about whether he has had any communication from last year's sponsor.

 

I imagine it would be a challenge to get vendors lined up on such short notice.

FWIW, I'd suggest making the SF show something like the Venice Bienniale - happens every 2 years, but is the premier event of the year when it happens. IOW, look at making 2014 an absolute kick-a$$ event!

I exchanged e-mails with Bert Oser who organized the SF Pen Show the last two years. He is definitely not doing it again but says some (unidentified) others are considering organizing one.

 

Any progress with this?

Yeah. I had heard that Bert definitely wasn't interested this year.

 

I did hear that rumor, too, about someone else considering doing it, and if so, Pen Posse is certainly willing and ready to help promote it, so... TIME'S AWASTIN'!

 

We're just standing by, waiting for the word....

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
