2016 LA Pen Show Report

[Farmboy]

Go ahead and link it. I do understand what you are talking about but I have deliberately avoided Reddit. But you are correct and we need to connect to that community.


PS. I'm a scientist.

Very cool, Rick. I was on my way out to a meeting when I saw Jon already took the initiative.

Scientist in what field?

High energy Physics sort of. Essentially he makes things go boom and studies the shock wave. He has really cool toys...that we all want.

You are one of the few friends I have who has seen the kind of things I do. Besides, you are really good at holding the diagnostics while I screw them into the rack.

Thanks for the great coverage!

Thanks for the report and detailed picture! LA pen show is my favorite in US, it's too bad that I couldn't be there this year!

More Thursday morning pens.

Here is the same pen next to a normal sized Sailor Hieroglyphics pen from the 1970’s

FINALLY looking at your photos on my laptop (not the phone). Wow!

Scrolling through now... I like both of these pens. Was about to ask the silly question, did you get the Sai-- and realized I was typing Sailor, not Pilot. Cool pen, though.

Was also nice to see familiar faces. I met Luiz at Pen Show Poland last year. Lovely man. He said he'll bring his family to Poland this time (April!).

I'm so glad you provide such comprehensive visual reporting from the show, Ricky.

The painted Sailors by Artus -- would love to look at them with my hands.

How's the WA nib on your Stylo Art? (I'm still scrolling through your report.)

[ethernautrix]

Didn't mean to single only Luiz out, but he's European, doncha know. Hm, I wonder if Miro will come to Pen Show Poland....


What is the soup in a bag? Why the bag?


Edit: I think Manu and Christina are coming again, too! Along, of course, with Sarj and Jas. Hooray!

[ethernautrix]

Oh... Stylo Art.... One of these days... perhaps another will grace my so-called collection. Or a raden ring.

Ricky, what's your opinion on the Taccia maki-e?



Edit: You're right: Kamakura Bori pen by Danitrio is very nice! My Danitrio Fellowship is seeing a lot of writing action lately. So comfortable for long writing stints, plus so beautiful.

Superb report from the show. Lots of pictures but some good words too. Thanks very much for taking the time to put it all together.

My favourite? The glow-in-the-dark Pelikan-moonrocket. That's phenomenal :-)

[Sailor Kenshin]

I could hit 'Thanks' on every post, Altec...or just thank you here for the wonderful report. Wish I could go someday.

The upper pen is a Sailor. I didn't need to buy it since I already own one. I got somebody else in the Pen Posse to buy the Montblanc.
