2015 LA Pen Show Report

Friday Miscellany


Someone just spent money.




Carmen Rivera brought out a lot of rare vintage Pilot VP’s. Those 1963 models are quite tasty.



Staedtler entered the fine pens area a few years ago and seem to be expanding.




Very nice inkwell. Classy.




Mike Masuyama’s set-up. His special guest was here again.



Wonderful work on sterling by Rich Littlefield



Expensive and rare Parker Aztec. I just wanted a shot on the horse hair.


Some stunning inkwells from a different time.



Parts. I was going to pour through these looking for a couple of feeds. I actually never got around to it.





Tako Bowl



The Lighter Side of David Issacson. The good doctor was playing jazz while sitting at his table. David had to go into action later in the show when his roommate fell ill. David and Paul Erano had to take Mike to the hospital. Fortunately it was just the flu.



On Friday night, we had our annual Nor Cal-SoCal dinner organized by Joi Edwards. We had a blast. FPGeeks own Dan Smith was there and took pictures and posted them. It was such a large table that some did not know Dan was there and wondered who posted a picture of the dinner.

On a closing note, the University of Oregon’s Men’s Basketball team lost to UCLA on Saturday. They might have scored more on the court if they had scored less at the hotel.
