They are seasonal really. They had them last year.
NOW they will NOT have but sometime in the next few months Sweet Potato Purple will be back.
But these 2 new ones should arrive. Luminous & Soliel
Ah yes, thanks. I passed on both of these previously as the Soleil has a reputation for behaving poorly on paper (eg a lot of bleed through) and I wouldn't use a highlighter green ink.
For anyone into gorgeous deep red/purple/burgundy inks you MUST grab a Sweet Potato Purple when it arrives. It's a fantastic ink. Only ink I've bought 1/2 dozen bottles of in one go - although I've since gifted 3 of them to pen pals.

As much as I'd love to be there on Thursday and Friday, I really can't justify a day-trader pass so it's Saturday for me.
I am sooooooooooooo excited. I keep on digging up more stuff in my ink and pen cabinet that I want to sell. It's going to be a great show!

This is a very casual meet up with some great raffle prizes as well.

I have a 6 hr~ish drive to get down to the pen show on Friday but I'm excited since it'll be my first pen show ever and I've been saving up for some Japanese or vintage pens

Putting this out there now to let everyone attending the #dcpenshow2016 there will be a meet up on Friday night 7pm-9pm after the show hosted by me, Vanness Pens & The Pen Addict brad Dowdy 🎉🎉🎉
Pens and friends and raffles etc. Meet many of the bloggers and old friends as well.
This is a causal get together so feel free to come on time or late .... stay late or leave early. We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable. Tables will be there, though there will never be enough, to sit and try pens and inks and just indulge in our passion.
Ill do a separate post for the meet with some of the amazing Raffle prizes we got.
AND as always the meet up just moves over to the bar and lobby area where the pen folk take over.

Can anyone tell me about the pass for weekdays? I will be tied up on the weekend, and need to attend the show on Friday.

$45 to get in on Friday, but it does cover the entire weekend. Sat and Sunday are $8 each I believe.
