We went to the DC Fountain Pen Supershow this past weekend, and we really had a blast! This year we opted not to actually set up a table for reasons I’ll explain in the full blog post, but we did spend a lot of time just walking around, taking pictures, and meeting fellow fountain pen lovers face-to-face. I took a lot of pictures and even shot some video, but it’s going to take me a few days to get it all edited and put together. Until then, here are some teaser pics from the show to give you an idea what it’s like.
 |
| Sheraton Premiere in Tysons Corner, where the show took place. |
 |
| Brian and Andrea Gray, of Edison Pen Co. Good friends of ours. Seeing them was a big reason why we went to the show! |
|
| Taccia’s new model, the Legato. Smaller bodied than most other Taccia pens. |
|
| Ink testing table. I took this picture before the mobs hoarded the inks! |
|
| Taccia’s new pen the Savanna. Hand turned from buffalo horn, more on it later! |
|
| New Edison pen called the Collier. This is the latest in the Edison retailer lineup. |
|
| Main ballroom: lotsa vendors, lotsa people, lotsa lotsa pens!!! |
|
| Me, rockin’ the GPC shirt. |
|
| Goulet Fam! Literally, it took 14 pictures to get Joseph to look happy, haha! I look creepy, but whatev. |
It was great to get to meet our fellow pen addicts fans at the show ;) Thanks to everyone who went hunting for us to talk to us! We felt a bit like ‘Where’s Waldo’, it was kind of fun, haha!
We’ll look to compile a more comprehensive look at all the goings on of the show later once I have time to edit everything.
