Pens, pens, and more pens!

Guess what's coming up next week? What the-- no, not Take Your Dumb Kid* to Work Day. I'm talking about the 2012 Philadelphia Pen Show. This year, I'm manning the table for the Philadelphia Pen Collectors Group for some of the show. Whee! I can't promise that I won't try to drink some of the ink but that's what happens when you start naming inks after wine and coffee and such. 

(Note: I'm not affiliated with Goulet Pens, the link for the food-scented inks above; just a customer. Also, they won't be at the show anyway. Also, I'm not sure if any vendors are bringing De Atramentis ink. This concludes the portion of the entry where I disappoint everyone). 

*I'm sorry I called your kid dumb but it's true-- your kid is dumb. My kid isn't dumb because my kid doesn't exist yet. Game, set, match.
