D.C. show in August... who's going?

[Dan Hintz]

I think Rainey (rhorne) has convinced me to attend, if I'm free that weekend... anyone else planning on it?

I'm also curious to see how often people actually check this forum since we seem to go months without a single post ;-)

I will be there. Stop by my table. I am coming in Friday but no sure if I am setting up that day.

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

If only I had the time. You might look up Jon Piper (GoodTurns) He usually is there also Mike and Linda Kennedy and I think George BUtcher (Texatdurango) might be there.

I'll be there but only to ooogle at other peoples work.

 

[BRobbins629]

I usually show up one day on the weekend.

I will be there in my spot in the small ballroom, with pens, parts, plastics and photos; I'll be cutting quills too.

I'm bringing the family on Saturday. I hope Lisa (Anderson) can get the kids infected with the FP bug while I pick some big brains around the place.

 

[MDWine]

I am going to try to go. So far, nothing to prevent that so I should be good. It would be great to see folks again... it's been a while. Saturday will be my day.

 

[Dan Hintz]

I'm working on some new equipment purchases to do some custom pen work with... highly unlikely I'd have it before I go, though

I need to pick up some IAP haute couture with my namebadge on it, see how many people call me out as I walk around. I like putting faces to names.

 

[GoodTurns]

Saturday for Jeremy and I if all goes as planned

 

[Yegg]

I'm still new to all of this but would love to go. Is there a web site with information?

Here is the web site for the show. DC Fountain Pen Supershow - Home
If you a new to pens any pen show is worth to go to. But DC is the largest in the world. A great place to get information. Please stop by my table if you go.

Still planning on going, but I don't know what day (I'll let the social director decide). I need to make up an IAP nametag or something so you guys can grab my attention as I pass buy...

 

[Dan Hintz]

Anyone know if one day is better to attend, Saturday or Sunday?

Saturday draws the largest crowd. Sundays tend to be small, and a lot of vendors pull out early. I will be introducing a new pen this is the only one in existence. In 3 weeks I will be in full production.

When Alan says "largest crowd", it is REALLY large. You have to go through the isles a step at a time sideways!! I haven't been in a couple of years, but I'm looking forward to it. I gotta go to the shop and look for my IAP name badge! I'll be looking for everyone's!

Let us know where your table is going to be Alan!!

 

[ashaw]

Will not know until Saturday. All I know it will be in the Large ballroom. Saturday morning about 7:00am is crazy trying to get table assignments. I will be there Friday but because of no security that night I will be showing just a few pens.
Check out https://www.facebook.com/pages/Shaw-Pens/158523740845200 for the new pen ad.

 

[penmaker56]

Yes, Saturday IS usually butt to butt in both ballrooms, lobby, and foyer, but if you wait to the lesser crowded Sunday, what you wanted/needed has a greater chance of not being there.

I'm thinking I may just put a fat piece of painter's tape on my chest with my name scribbled on using black marker. ;-)
