Pretty stoked about the show already! Can't wait to see everyone there!
Re: Chicago Pen Show 2016
I'll definitely be attending this one! Really looking forward to it!
Re: Chicago Pen Show 2016
I'll be working behind the scenes to make sure Lou's thin-crust pizza is on the menu, too. :)

There is precisely nothing better than a pen show! As for tips, I would start with this 4-part article, by noted pen person Richard Binder, on attending your first show. It will answer an awful lot of your questions, and give you some ideas of other things to ask.

Well, yes, like you, but far, far, far, far, far worse. These people are nuts. You'll see. :)

Absolutely - they'll make it worse! You'll have a great time, and there should be plenty of chatter here on the forum before the show. Roger Wooten is a great host and great pen guy, and this show pulls in a lot of very wonderful pen vendors and gurus. You're lucky to have access to one of the best pen shows, so max out on it.
Re: Chicago Pen Show 2016
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this thread. The show is only about 45 minutes from me. It's actually right next to my old job.
I've already warned my husband to start saving now.
Re: Chicago Pen Show 2016
I wish I could go! Seminary needs to give furrows for pen shows
Re: Chicago Pen Show 2016
Re: Chicago Pen Show 2016
I'm thinking of going. My son lives in Chicago, and it would be a chance to see him and his family. Need to start saving up now... It will be my first pen show as well.
How early should one register for these things?

Believe it or not Roger lives one town from me. What a small world
Re: Chicago Pen Show 2016
Terie;
Nobody lives near me - really? We are working on a show that we would really want to go to. Now that we are in teh right year I'm freaking out that I don't have time to get everything done.
Fernando;
Registering early helps me know there is demand but, anytime you get the check to me - like a week before - is fine. I've already got 3 and 4 day registrations which is great!

Roger,
Howdy neighbor from Belvidere.
Re: Chicago Pen Show 2016
Terie;
Well hoping on to 90 to go to the show in Hoffman Estates will be a joy for you. With that and the free parking you're set. I'll be staying at the hotel what with running it and all it is good to be close. I hope you can make it in all four days. Sometime you should go to the pen club meeting - I could even pick you up.
