    I will be there probably on Sunday, unless the idea of the huge crowd scares me away again this year. But I have motivation to go there to see some Edison pens (and other things as well). I don't know if I will have any budget to have real fun, but am looking forward to it regardless.

    FPGeeks will be there. I'm sure Eric will buy 1 or 2 or 9 Edisons. That seems to be his routine. I'll probably be looking for parts to fix a bunch of Vacs and 51's. Other than that, I look for anything modern or vintage that's a good deal.

    Well now that P51 pens have been mentioned I realize that this will probably be a good oppurtunity to get one. Time to start researching so that I have a clue about what I am seeing and should expect to pay.
