    I didn't click "thanks" for each post, but will rather just post a big "thanks" here to AltecGreen for this photo show. I really enjoy this!

    He does great as a surrogate for anyone not at the show. He did no OPM me as I was too busy working for Susan Wirth, though I did get two of the four pens on my want list by trading and selling several pens. An Aurora 88 vintage and a Mont Blanc 146. Also got Michael Sull to write my name and got one of his wood pen blocks for my home setup.

    I LOVE ALL THE PICTURES! I have never been to a pen show. I think I will just roll around the floor and get up covered in pen fairy dust. Thank you!

    Great pictures AltecGreen! I asked Leighpod if Mike's guest was the younger Nagahara as he did look very familiar. Turns out it was Yukio-san after all.

    I am reliably informed by a friend who collects both pipes and pens, that the sterling smoking pipe is almost certainly made for smoking opium!

    That Pelikan 600 or 700NN set is absolutely gorgeous!

    Well, I had a blast at this year's pen show, and Ricky's guidance and OPM assist helped me come home with such a lovely Stylo Art pen with the FA-10 nib (did I get that right?) that is a glory to use. Wow. And my marriage was saved in the process, so all is well. (And, Todd, you are welcome that I saved you from the tyranny of the alpine snowflake. It writes great.) Terrific summary and pics, Ricky -- thanks so much.

    First time to attend the LA Pen Show and I loved every minute of it consequently, my wallet hated very minute of it as well.

    Helping out at Rick Propas' table also helped me get the full pen show feel. Thanks Rick!

    As for OPM, Ricky and Loren tag teamed me and got me to purchase my first Nakaya. It's a Long Writer in Ao Tamenuri finish. Thanks for getting me hooked in the madness guys!



    Now the LA pen show will be an annual tradition for me. Can't wait for next year and the SF pen show coming in August!
