    Default 2014 Long Island Pen Show

    Anybody from here going? I thought about it since I'm in NJ and I kinda want a binderized 200 nib. The $8 shipping on Richard Binder's website is quite a bit of the train ticket, I imagine so I figure it's worth it to go.

    Wow cool. I might go, and it would be great to meet some of my fellow Fpgeeks. How does one get a pin?


    edit: just confirmed, round trip will be around 16 dollars, so it's definitely worth it.

    Do come, the LI Show is really nice. I am in too. It's in my "backyard" so no excuse for not showing up.

    An eye for insignificant details is a good sign you will do just fine in medical school...
    As a sharp wit and powerful sarcasm is a sign that you already have.

    I am hoping to go, thought I may not get there till Sunday. Everything on earth seems to be attempting to happen in my life that weekend with the possible exception of a Volcanic explosion, which is why Saturday seems unlikely.

    Where DO we get the pins. A piece of copy paper inscribed "I am on FPGeeks" pinned to my back seems, I dunno, maybe a bit pathetic...

    Have you checked on the FP Geeks website? There was a batch made available in 2013 but not sure if any are left. Looks like this:

    I'll be there, and I want to sell my mostly full noodler's and PR inks. I got tiananmen red, lexington gray, and PR ebony blue. I just dont use them much. I'd take $7 each, if anyone's interested.

    Just thought I'd give a bit of extra motivation for someone to go, using some nicely priced ink.

    OK... we went through this last year.

    Heres what to do... Put your name tag with your board name under your name on your back left shoulder lol

    FountianPenKid and I were looking for each other last year, not knowing what we look like, and never crossed paths. SO WE THOUGHT.. we found pictures posted of us about 10' apart lol.

    See we are all leaning over tables or talking to someone etc so it's hard sometimes to make eye contact except when you are moving over to another table. So since you everyones back at one point or another it makes it easy to say "HEY... I know you from FPG's"

    I'll do that. I'm old enough that I don't care if I look like a fool.

    I'll make a mini badge, printed out.


    And dang, the prospects for going just decreased. With all the transportation involved itd set me back about $40 just to get to the pen show, let alone the $25 early trader entrance I wanted.

    LOL>.. I found the pic I labeled last year..

    Red arrow is FPK and the blue is me... and to the far right, the blonde is Lisa Anderson of Anderson Pens and PCA President.

    It was kinda funny that we were just that close and both there for hours and never figured it out.

    I really think the name badge will help us a lot.

    It's only a two hour trip for me and probably the only show I'll get to this year. So going to try hard to get there.

    I am hoping to go on Saturday with my husband. We are both new to fountain pens, and I am new to this site! This is my first post. Very excited to be here, and going there! I am in Suffolk, so it isn't hard for me to get to. Made a list of pens I want to check out!
