I will be going to the Baltimore International Pen Convention next weekend. I have never been to a pen convention before and was wondering if anyone has any advice, tips, or has some experiences they would like to share.
There are some classes/workshops. Most cost money and there are some included with admission. I decided to just sign up for two of the free ones as this is my first convention. I figured I could always do paid ones at future convention. I signed up for one that is all about meeting independent pen makers and another which is fountain pens 101.
I am only going for one day but I am super excited. I have collected pens for the past few years but really started to get serious within the last two. I expect that I will probably want to purchase something while I am there.
Any advice or stories are appreciate. This community is so kind and welcoming. Even to new users like me. Thanks!
