The Baltimore Washington International Pen Show has grown into one of my favorite shows on “the circuit.” It’s a well-run, medium-sized pen show that may not be the largest out there but attracts a great group of vendors and attendees. I’m back behind the Vanness Pens table this weekend, winding towards the end of my insane February-March travel schedule, so come visit and get your hands on all the pens, ink, and paper we brought with us before it’s gone! The Vanness-Shawn Newton collaboration, the Pinnacle, is nearly sold out with only one or two pens remaining, and we very quickly sold out of certain colors of Akkerman ink. As is usual on pen show weekends, I’ll have a full recap with my thoughts on this show up on the blog next week.
The Vanness Table. We’re to the left against the wall as you enter the ballroom.
Vanness brought all sorts of Aurora pens to the show, including the last of the Minerali demonstrators, Optima Flex Pens, and some new limited editions!
What are you lookin’ at? Cary mans the Kenro table across the aisle from us.
The Joey Feldman/Rickshaw bags collaboration intended for the L.A. Pen Show is finally available for Baltimore! Come see these, they’re great!
And finally, we have the full range of Pilot Custom 74 demonstrators. These are excellent pens that don’t get the love they deserve, for some reason. The nibs are outstanding and the price point is excellent. Stop by and try one out!
