Great tips! I went to the SF Pen show yesterday and it was my first time. To say being overwhelmed as soon as I walked in was an understatement. It was just pen, ink, journals ,massive amounts of people etc overload. Definitely agree about taking breaks and eating. I had a blast though and everyone was SO friendly. Very easy to strike up conversations with people. Hope you had fun!
Good advice! I went to my first pen show in LA and went in and walked around the whole room and walked out and was like "what in the world?" I had never seen so many pens in one room in my entire life! It was very overwhelming....I will be better prepared mentally for the next one! LOOOOOOOL
These were great tips and I wished we would’ve seen this before the pen show. The show was awesome. It was overwhelming for a newbie. I know what to expect for next year.
Great advice Craig. Look forward to your post show videos and commentary.
Thank you!
Thanks for the tips!!! I can't wait to go to my 1st Penshow on Friday!!! August 24th!!
I hope you had fun!

Thanks David!
Craig: You have a lot of Grail-level pens now. What do you intend to buy at the SF show?
I’m not really looking for anything. It’s usually anything that catches my eye
