This will be my second Ohio Pen show in a few weeks.

 

All I can say is that it was painful to miss this show two years in a row after being there in 2013.

 

Life sometimes gets in the way, but I am overly excited to get there this year.

 

I love the shows Terry puts on. They are fun filled with a lot of events thru the show.

 

I'm hoping my endorsement sways you to attend if you are even thinking about it.

Well I am certainly looking forward to the show, and I will be bringing three friends who are getting into fountain pens. They are a attorney, a doctor and a mortician. I think I have all the bases covered with this group.

I just made my hotel reservations yesterday (not at the site hotel, but at one about 20 minutes away and nearly all highway driving). Sadly, I can only really go for Friday, and maybe part of Saturday, then I have to go back home and bake a pie for Sunday.

Main plans for this year are to get a couple of pens repaired, including the most recent Snorkel -- picked up when I was out in the Pacific Northwest a few weeks ago. Might pick up some inks, but I'm actually pretty good there. Beyond that, well, there's a few vintage pens that are my "sooner or later, if the price is right" list, and a few Esterbrook nibs that have so far eluded me (weirdly enough, that includes a 9556 nib -- which I thought I already had... :huh:).

Looking forward to it as always. Tried to talk the husband into going, because he works a 9-80 schedule and has that Friday off, but -- while he admitted he had fun last year at DCSS -- I just couldn't manage it. So I'll leave sometime early on Thursday, and maybe hit some antiques places on the way out. And maybe (if I have any money left!) on the way home.... :lol:

I will be there - my first pen show!

 

I've been working hard on a "pens of interest" list which will likely go out the window when I'm assaulted with the giant selection in person. I'm also working hard to sell my children on the black market in order to finance some of my purchases. Well, okay, that's not true - but I am working on strategies to buy pens without my wife knowing how much I'm spending. "Hey honey - I think I forgot to lock the car - can you run outside and check" etc etc.

 

We will be spending the day Saturday, staying the night, then returning home Sunday morning.

Ohio is a nice show. Not as big as DCSS, but bigger than some others. My first show was DC, and it was kinda overwhelming because it's just *so* huge. And while not exclusively so, Ohio's focus is on vintage pens, which I like.

Thanks Ruth - I have a number of vintage pens on the watch list so that's good to hear!

It'll be my second after last year -- I still haven't sorted out what my focus is going to be, getting a bunch of Estie nibs that I don't already have, or getting one super nice pen. Either way, it's going to be bad for my wallet...

I'll be journeying over from the Chicago area - this will be my second show ever, the first being this year's Chicago show. Looking forward to meeting some pen folks!

Maybe we ought to put 'FPN: (username)' in the bottom corner of our name tags or something so we can bump into each other. :)

I always put my screen name on mine. I figured that I'd be more likely to bump into people from FPN that way (I wish that the day passes at DCSS were like that too -- I've met people there (like the fabulous Plistumi) sort of inadvertently.

Just wish I could be at OPS for the entire weekend. Why is it that my two hobbies always conflict with each other? :angry:

While I won't be a weekend participant this year, I will be there for the three days of the public show. I have quite a few items that I am going to try to trade. Trading has been pretty good for me through the years. I know that I am in the distinct minority regarding this, but it harkens back to a practice that was a bit more common in the early days of collecting and I have found some of the participants still enjoy doing it as I do.

And dare I mention that there's a Graeter's Ice Cream *real* near by the venue? :D

Weather looks great for the pen show weekend - temps in the upper 50's and lower 60's! Really looking forward to the road trip and mini get-away. Looking forward to returning home with some great loot too!!

      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
