Pelikan Hub 2017

[MHBru]

 

I did the same. As much as I enjoyed the LA Hub last year I don't think I'm up for 4 hours driving in traffic again.

[MHBru]

And that's why an LA event doesn't thrill me and last year I was away on a biz trip on the day of the meeting anyway. Nice to have another from OC here... I'm in mission viejo.

Registered for Dallas.

[MCN]

Signed up for Detroit!

[inkstainedruth]

Registered for Pittsburgh!

The first year, I had the small gold Pelikan pen holder there to preside over things. Last year it was joined by the (admittedly goofy) mini Lucky Cat with a battery powered moving arm. This year, I will add in the small white Pelikan pen holder I got at Fountain Pen Hospital last Christmastime.

And yeah, of course the pens....

They had pretty impressive swag last year. Wonder what they'll have this year.

I just put in a request for a hub in Belmont, CA (mid-SanFrancisco peninsula, just south of San Mateo).

I would be hub-master.

Now to see if Pelikan approves it.

 

I really do NOT want to go into SF on a Friday night. Traffic and parking is horrible.

My wife and I registered for New Orleans.

Got our local club to sign up and were approved as a potential hub this morning. I hope that we get chosen, we hardly have anything cool come to Hawaii

I see HNL has 10 people registered to attend, so you should be good.

On your side is, there isn't any other hub for 2,400 miles.

I put a request in for Oakland/Alameda for those who don't want to brave the traffic to SF or the Peninsula. Let's see if we cant get a couple of hubs in the Bay Area!

And I put in for "San Francisco Bay Area" (again) for Millbrae (mid peninsula at the BART / CalTrain station) and volunteered to be hubmaster. I, too, don't want to go into SF on a Friday evening. Be it Millbrae or Belmont... fine by me.

I'm getting worried. The Hub is next week, and I haven't heard anything other than that I am registered.

 

Does anyone know who is in charge of the Austin, Texas Hub?

[ethernautrix]

Wrocław represent!

 

Our hub is growing!

[mulrich]

I'm the organizer for the Salt Lake City UT hub and have thus far only sent one email to the other participants. I'm having a hard time nailing down a location that takes reservations but isn't expensive.

[Wandering Man]

Thanks Mulrich.

 

There are three of us who live about two hours away from Austin. We're just a little worried that living outside of Austin may hav got us off the list for some reason.

I've emailed my hubmistress to see if she might be able to get a hold of Pelikan or tell you how to get a hold of them.

[Wandering Man]

Thanks Fuzzy_bear. There is an email address on the pelikan hub site for questions, and I sent out an email this afternoon. But, I wasn't sure if that would get my concern sent to the right place.

Oops...double

I signed up for the Austin hub as well, have heard nothing so I emailed pelikan. Will let you know if I hear anything.

Hello fellow concerned Austin people! I came here hoping to see some info about the Austin group as well - I've received nothing and know of one other person that hasn't heard a thing. So, at least we're not alone in being a bit in the dark.
