Re: Washington 2016 Pen Show
Thank you. Not the best of news, but $45 is better than not getting to go at all. I assume that covers the whole thing, so if I pay $45 on Thursday, I could go both Thursday and Friday?Originally Posted by sgtstretch

Agreed. For the past two years I was only able to attend on Sunday and it was great.

Re: Washington 2016 Pen Show
Sunday afternoon is a great time to attend. In my experience, it is almost a "buyers' market" during the final hours on Sunday. This is especially true among the big retailers who don't want to pack a great deal of unsold merchandise and are also looking for some final sales. I have gotten very good deals late Sunday. In fact, I have often closed my table mid-afternoon and gone pen hunting for the first time since the previous Thursday.

Re: Washington 2016 Pen Show
Thanks for the feedback. I've been to the ATL show the last two years so have little to compare to. I'll see if I can drag a friend along.
Re: Washington 2016 Pen Show
I will be there on Saturday morning - hopefully at opening. MLW has to be at work at 6:00 AM so I'll be hanging out at the office for an hour or so, then a subway ride across town.

Here's some pics.
Kanilea pen company is new. A husband and wife team have designed pens from their trip pictures of Hawaii. They blended the colors, poured resins and make the pens.
This pen is of a sunset. I couldn't resist and bought it.
This pen is designed after a gecko.
