    Hi Katherine,

    I have been going to Pen Posse gatherings since February 2014. Not as long as others have been.

    These meet ups are really just hanging out, and talking about pens. If you have a newly acquired pen, you can do show and tell. If you have questions about a pen model, brand, vintage, and/or modern, you can ask as well. If you are eyeing a pen but wanna see how it writes, or feels in the hand, ask because someone may have one (this is usually true).

    Typically, you arrive at your leisure around 1:00-ish, order brunch if you're hungry, and talk about pens.

    Most times, there are individuals who can do pen repair/tweaks, or consult for what issue your pen may have.

    I plan to attend this coming Sunday so I hope to meet you as well.
    As Jon has put it, just go, go, go! =)

    P.S.
    Recommend to order dessert and have a milkshake.A sweet treat while handling sweet pens. =)
