The DC Super Pen Show that went from Thursday the 4th through Sunday the 7th was a blast. Most visitors, especially ones new to pen collecting, said they were enjoying themselves immensely. The vendors I talked with had their own evaluations, but all said that they had had at least one day of great sales. Three small complaints I heard were: The hotel is not user-friendly, the air conditioning was too high, and two levels made it difficult to see everything. Every conceivable pen, new, old, or in-between was there, plus old and new pencils, and such other wonderful stuff as 3-D greeting cards, 3-D made pen holders, etc. A very large number of un-site repair people, great presentations (ahem), and Barbara Johnson was unfailingly friendly and helpful, as was her large staff. All in all, IMO, a terrific and successful show.
