We just completed our pen studio/workshop and we’re ready to host a little get together. Come by and meet your fellow pen lovers, and don’t forget to bring any pens you have questions about or issues with, because odds are that someone can help.

Date/Time: Saturday November 2nd, from noon till around 6pm.

Where: 239 Peyton Street, Santa Cruz ( see https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=239+Peyton+Street,+Santa+Cruz,+CA)

Food: We’ll start serving food and snacks around 1pm.

Since we don't have a pen show in San Francisco this year, this might help a bit with the withdrawal symptoms.....

See you on the 2nd!

It was a special Posse aside from the new digs at Peyton Street Pens. It was a second farewell Posse for Lisa and we had Leigh Reyes as a special guest.

It does look like it was a good time. I am not sure if I was more impressed by the number of nice pens in the pictures or the picture of the spare parts.

This was such a wonderful and outstanding posse meetup.. good food and fun people and just a really awesome vibe.

The only dangerous part was seeing so many incredible pens in person... I've been Nakaya smitten... :)

Teri was such a gracious host. Check out the modern ebonite pens with real vintage flex via Eversharp nibs...

Oh, and if you are ever in Santa Cruz you have to try this ice cream. http://www.lovemariannes.com We had sooo many tasty flavors...

Boy does that look like fun. Peyton Street Pens has been one of my best resources for vintage pens. Wish I could have been there to meet everyone in person.

Ah, Ricky, one can always count on you for superb documentation! What a wonderful gathering, so sorry it is another I couldn't attend, but I'm always there in spirit. And wishing Lisa, again and of course, safe and happy travels.

This is all the more fun, as I'm sitting in the lobby of the hotel in Shanghai, waiting for the flight to Beijing. Trip is going well, concerts getting good reviews. Details when we get home soon...

Oh my, thank goodness it's only been a couple of weeks since this Pen Posse took place.

Weeks? Erm, I mean (*clear throat), better late than never, right?

Tomorrow is Throwback Thursday, so I'm in time for that. (*Grasping any excuse)

Thanks, Lisa. Leigh is so gifted, both the handwriting and the sketching, and those are the first good pics I've seen of the new PSP operation - killer! Your tardiness is totally forgiven.

Hahaha, thanks, Jon!

On top of being so talented, Leigh is a super nice person with the most gorgeous pens! In one of those photos, my Nakaya Negoro lies around with four of Leigh's Nakayas. Wait, maybe one of those Nakayas is a Platinum.

Teri's Peyton Street Pens is a very comfortable, beautiful place, and Teri, Nivardo, and Nancy are warm, generous hosts of Pen Posse.

Great photos! Thanks for posting them. Time really does fly doesn't it?

We're missing you in LA this year, Lisa. That must explain the lower attendance that Jon noted. The next time you are in the bay area we can do another posse in Santa Cruz. We'd like to do another this summer, so let me know your plans :-)
