I'll be there for sure as I live only 10-15 minutes away (Lafayette). I've never been to a pen show before and am really looking forward to it.

 

I do have a (likely stupid) question, however. How is payment normally handled at such an event? I don't normally carry much cash on me but want to make sure I come prepared. :embarrassed_smile:

Cash is easiest, although some sellers may have the capability for CC transactions... cash... lots of cash...

Wine.

 

Food.

 

Pens.

 

California.

 

What more could you ask for?

Piles of cash. And a massage.

I'll be going. It's my first pen show ever so I might need somebody to hold my hand a little bit :embarrassed_smile:

It's ok... we'll get you through it (just stay away from Ricky... "spend[ing] money like a drunken sailor")...

Methinks it's a reference to Joey on _Friends_...

 

It's ok... the Posse will protect you... :)

That explains why it sailed right over my head! I'm totally TV-illiterate... I was too busy reading books in my youth :ninja:

That's not a bad thing... At work we often quote movies as shorthand when the situation fits! It may be clever, or it may show a lack of verbal creativity on our part... I'm still deciding! :)

I'm sorry, it truly was light-hearted! On a few forums I frequent, it is a friendly way of ... hmmm.... greeting you in an interested way!?

 

:headsmack: (That still doesn't read quite right...)

 

Meh. Humor: so fleeting...

 

 

P.S. I loathed Friends.

Anyone know which Pen Repairpersons will attended. Ink dealers???

 

 

John Mottishaw and Pendelton Brown have confirmed. I'm pretty sure Bjor of Monster Refill will attend.

Oh well! Interesting though, isn't it, how online culture varies slightly from forum to forum? I often find myself out in non-FPN places wishing for the dancing bunny icon! :bunny01:

I never cared much for Friends either, but Lisa Kudrow's character was the most of interesting of the lot.

 

That said, I'll check in on Wife by texting "How you doin'?" :lol:

 

I'm considering driving over the hill to the SF show. I'm not much into cities and such, but attending a pen show has to be interesting.

Do it, and don't worry, as the show isn't in San Francisco.

Could anyone tell me, how many people approximately attend the latest SF pen show? And any remarks about the previous show will be greatly appreciated. If you don't like to post, please pm me, thanks.

This is a new show. There hasn't been a show in SF in many years, so I expect there will be pent-up demand.
