    Quick notes:

    A Montblanc Generation jumped into my pocket.

    The guy selling LE Safari colors has better prices than fleabay and lots of colors, including orange with red clip.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!

    Woohoo! The Andersons!!! I can't wait to meet Lisa. I love her sense of humor on the podcasts.
    What did you buy?

    I went late, about 3:15, 3:30, and wandered around getting my feet wet and asking questions. Now I have to work up the courage to re-sac something. Tonight. Because if it works for me, then I should probably buy about a ga-zinkion more sacs tomorrow, to avoid postage...

    Seriously.

    I did wear my Tiara, but probably it just scared people off.

    Had a lovely time there yesterday. I picked up a lot of stuff. The Anderson's table is where I did a lot of my shopping, as they both were so helpful and friendly to this newbie. I had ink questions and pens I wanted to try and they were very nice. My husband is making me a pen box today from an old tea box I had after picking up an insert yesterday. I am looking forward to going again next year. Good size to get my feet wet without becoming overwhelmed.

    What a great event! I got a pen from Susan wirth, a ton of ink and paper from the Anderson's and a pen wrap from the bender table. It's a wonderful talking to people and trying out pens. I saw some of the fancy handmade Japanese pens....now I understand why people love them. Seeing these pens in person....wow...incredibly....my favorite was praying mantis surrounded by pumpkins and butterflies.

    Not sure,but there was a pair of pumps on the table at this one. I did not ask why...

    Great day at the show today! I met a few people and had some really awesome moments. I also, between yesterday and today, spent 43 dollars plus tax on sacs.

    Yes, sacs. I bought one 21 dollar pen and 23 sacks. (The package of Pilot Varsities I bought for a child count as bribes, not pens...)

    Also three pen tray inserts, three j-bars, shellac, talc, simichrome, micromesh, loupe, inkwell, and six bottles of ink.

    You know, when you look at it like that, it seems pretty restrained...

    But seriously, it was a very nice time. People were very nice. And really, I was good. The list of things I did NOT buy was much longer than the list of things I did...

    And ooo, Ma! I can re-sac now! Did Ten last night, w00t!

    I missed the pumps. Though I met the people selling windows. Why sell windows at a pen show?

    I saw the pumps and was very confused by the used shoes, but the windows were weird too. Friendly people though. I enjoyed trying out the various inks with the dip pens. Met some friendly people there as well.

    I sort of enjoyed the pun of "Anderson Windows" a stone's throw from Anderson Pens, (even the way I throw) but as far as I know that was unintentional.

    I met totally amazing people. I didn't take pictures - I was sort of too into what I was doing to look at it, if that makes any sense... It felt like the first day in a new world.

    Thanks for the pix--so that we who are showless may vicariously enjoy!

    Is your Visconti now Binderized? And did I miss your new piccolo-inks review from the Akkerman haul?

    (I'm just full of questions this evening. What can I say, it's sub-zero again. Brain freeze! )

    And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last.

    Visconti is ... NOT !!... I got there late and paid the price. Zorn, Binder & Tim Girdler were all busy bees with long lists. oh well...

    Was such a great time though. Got to meet up with plistumi and that was just a highlight for sure. She is just an awesome person. Outgoing and friendly and very gracious to let me try some of her pens. Especially her Nakaya Piccolos, though I found out they are indeed just to small for me. NOW I just read above she was selling her own inks ???? HUH ???? Well whats that about? I would have certainly jumped on that bing the Ink-o-holic I am.

    The new Akkerman inks are fantastic but so is the Aurora Blue and Noodlers FPH exclusive Manhattan Blue I scored at the show!

    Oops' I obviously spent some time with the Anderson's and thats always great. Being around people who LOVE what they do and really enjoy the time they spend with others who enjoy pens & ink & paper etc. is just awesome.
