    Default FPG meet up at DC show.

    Hello fellow FPG's

    I'm going be arranging for our meet up on Saturday August 15th. Last year we had a ton of fun, so let's repeat that

    We will be meeting around 630pm and staying til late. As we get closer to the date, I'll announce where to meet.

    I've arranged for a secret special guest to join us for a bit and maybe some bits and bobs giveaway. So, please post if you are joining us.

    I hope to re meet some folks from last year and get to know others. Let's get together and talk pens!

    And once again I will set up an alternate meet up for this still there on Sunday, or like me, only there on Sunday. 11:30 in the bar again? Hope to see some of you.

    I think that's great idea. Sunday meet up people post here as well. Just indicate which day in your post.

    Looking forward to meeting you writingrav.

    I would love to meet up with some fine pen folks. I was fortunate enough to meet a few, two years ago, and look forward to meeting more this year. I will be there from Wednesday through Monday, so anytime will be fine with me.

    I'll be a vendor Thursday through Saturday, so I'll look for ya'll. On Sunday, people start drinking in the bar at 11:30 in the morning, then they stagger into the show, tipping over tables and falling onto displays, so I get the hell out beforehand.

    Kidding, of course. Sunday has been kinda dead the last few years, which is why I leave Saturday night. There are show events scheduled on Sunday, though.

    You're missing out. After everyone's good and tight, it's one hell of a party.

    Hey, we had a wild time last year. Though this year, I'm getting us a table AWAY from the loud crappy band.

    I so wish I could go!!! DC is my favorite show and I've missed the past two years. Hopefully in 2016. Fingers crossed. Hope everyone has fun this year!

    Well, DC is the biggest (and closest) but Columbus is my favorite. Since you cannot make DC in 2015, put it in your calendar instead.
