    *SO* looking forward to this! I'll be the big guy with longish hair, beard and glasses. I've been told I stick out pretty well.

    Well there will be two-ish of you. We have another guy showing up with long hair, beard and glasses. He's the Liam Neeson of the group.

    That's cool. He can be the Liam Neeson. I have more an "Andre the Giant" build to me...

    Won't be me. I'll be the short, grey-haired dude with glasses. At these shows, I'm kind of invisible. . .

    I'll be the short, no-haired dude with glasses. Probably have a flat cap on as well.

    I found some photos I took at the 2013 show. If anyone needs convincing to go, I can post a few.

    This was one of the Edison cases.

    I want photos from the 2015 show. I want photos of pens, and I want photos of people. Make it look like Chicago was different from every other pen show!

    ^^ It's this coming weekend, so alas I have no 2015 show photos. Yet.

    However, this very nice fellow brings his ink bottle collection to Chicago every year. He told me he doesn't use fountain pens; he just collects the ink bottles. This photo shows only a small part of his setup; he's got a lot. I'm guessing he doesn't take these bad boys to every show.

    Haha! Yes yes! We will have to take a ton of photos. I have opted not to ride to the show so I can bring my camera.

    Just a friendly reminder... Anderson's Table at 10 or should we make it 11 for people to get their first walk around the rooms done?? I will be there promptly and wearing that brown fedora, and those who were at our other meeting. You know that opie will not be hard to spot!! Haha!

    Is this at 10:00 on Thursday or Friday? Or Saturday? I was thinking Friday for some reason, but realized no one actually said which day it was. Unless I missed it.

    Does this mean you're flying? Won't your arms get tired?

    I'll be there at 10:00 AM on Saturday. Not sure yet about Sunday.

    That was a good one!! I shall be driving in my car. I'm so so sad. But the weather is making me want to say that I will. Oh why why do saddlebags have to be so small!

    I'll be there on Saturday for sure. Sunday... I shall not. I will try to stay at the show as long as possible.

    In case anyone is interested, Edison posted a video about what pens they're bringing to the show. Linky-link: https://youtu.be/LQzVe7cm3hA

    Steve, did you ever find the (rumored) free parking?

    Yeah, I'd be glad to know beforehand where the free parking is as well.
