I received a couple emails this week with updates to dates for pen shows through the end of the calendar year. Check out our Pen Show Schedule for more details. We have not updated the 2023 schedule yet but will try to get dates nailed down for 2023 in the coming weeks.
In other Pen Show News, Jesi and I will be at the Dallas Pen Show next weekend helping out at the Dromgoole’s tables. Jesi will continue her reign as Ink Queen and I will be her lackey. Or maybe the Dromgooles will just make me do coffee runs? Either way, you know where to find us both if you’re in the Dallas area for the weekend of Sept 22-23. Yep, you guessed it! At the bar! No seriously, we will be at the Dromgoole’s Ink Bar corner recommending ink, paper and more. Please come say hello!
