Hi! Thought I would say hello and introduce myself. My name is Winnie and I am in NYC. New to FPG and fountain pens. I look forward to getting to know you and sharing in the fun and learning! I am excited to say I will be going to my first Pen Show next week on Long Island. Can't wait!

Thank you for the welcome and the show advice! I see ink and I go nuts. I am a cardmaker/stamper so I think the ink drew me in!

Hi Winnie,

Welcome to the Fountain Pen Geeks forums! Smaller than the largest pen fora, larger than some, you'll find a comfortable community of pen-centric people here, with a growing body of posts, reviews, and group knowledge. Mostly, you'll find people who are enthusiastic about fountain pens, and fountain pen people.

Join in!

It looks like I will be going on Saturday as my husband is off and wants to go. He isn't into fountain pens, but I got him his first one in Jan. for his birthday and I think there is a spark now! Thanks for the welcome!

Hi, Winnie!

Welcome from Upstate Manhattan (aka, Washington Heights). Ink, oh ink...I think of Art Brown's and feel sad all over again. Had the best ink collection anywhere, and it was all out on the shelves. Fountain Pen Hospital does not have a big enough store to carry the variety that Brown's did.

Welcome Winnie, please let us know how the pen show goes for you. Did you leave your wallet locked in the freezer or did you take it with you and if so what did you buy there?
