Philadelphia pen show 2016
I forgot to post an interesting idea from FC. They are using bottles with tops that you can pour ink into an ink dropper. If you want your ink from them in these bottles just request it at shipping.

Re: Philadelphia pen show 2016
It was a great day. Great to be with Tracy Lee and Sam and Sgtstretch and others. I walked from home a mile an a half each way in the blizzard. It was worth it. My modest haul:

Re: Philadelphia pen show 2016
Ps, I love that the die hards made it to the fp mecca in a blizzard.
Re: Philadelphia pen show 2016
I'm going to have to write them to see if they are bringing some of that ink to LA. Love me some green ink. Nice pen, too!

Re: Philadelphia pen show 2016
@JonSzanto, there are only 38 bottles left for sale on Sunday. If you would like a sample, DM me your address, I picked up a bottle.
Re: Philadelphia pen show 2016
Yipes! Gee, thanks for the offer, but a sample would only make me wish more that I got a bottle. Bear in mind I haven't *seen* it!

It is a beautiful dark green. I have others and didn't really think I'd like it, but I really do.
