We had an awesome Pen Posse today.
We celebrated the return of Lisa and Gale from their respective travels. Lisa had all kinds of stories of her trip to the Poland Pen Show and visits to Prague and Wroclaw (we can't get the correct pronunciation so we say 'woof-woof'). Gale had been in Japan then Argentina and Brazil. Of course, she brought all of her booty from Japan to share with the Pen Posse.
Of course, we did spend a fair amount of time talking about the 'other forum'. But the inky goodness trumps the negativity.

Sketchy (aka Fred) did some magic on a Ranga ebonite pen.

I had asked Gale to pick up some ink from Nihonbashi Maruzen. I think she cleaned the place out. Of course, we were there to help lighten her load. :). I think we took most of her ink and many pens off her hands.
