I'll be there. I hope to have 150+ pens that have not yet made it to the website. Gem USA pens. Maybe some of the near modern LE Omas pens.   The whole shebang.

I'll be there---1st time to a show. Will there be many exhibitors / vendors? (I'm driving 4 hours.)

Looks there will be plenty of pens there.

It will definitely be worth the drive. You will learn more in one day than you would ever imagine, also you may even buy a pen or 2

Hi,  It was my first pen show and I had a great time.  Thanks to David Watts. Jim Baer, and all the others who organized the show.  It was the first time seeing many of the pens which I have seen discussed on the forums.  A whole bunch of beautiful pens.  The best part by far was the people there.  The exhibitors were  eager to help and explain and answer questions which was great for me since I am only nine months into the hobby.  I watched Richard Binder work on some nibs which I found fascinating, I got to sit with Jim Baer while he took apart and examined a Parker Vacumatic.  (I have put new diaphragms on two duovacs and I was very tenuous and anxious about it, but finally after an hour, I was done.)  To watch Jim pop open things, twist stuff, toss stuff, and all in a matter of a few minutes do what took me sixty minutes,was impressive.  Pier Gustafson was giving away a placard with your name on it.  Beautifully done with his calligraphic talent and taking all of four seconds to complete it.  My wife bought a pen from him.  I bought my first Parker Vacumatic.

       If you want to learn something about pens, go to a pen show.
