I promised updates from the SF Pen Show and... proved my ineptitude at real-time posting! I might share some fountain pen photos later, but there's a great article out today that gives you a lot of the vibe of how wonderful this weekend is. Enjoy! #sfpenshow

What a great weekend so far at the #sfpenshow and looking forward to a wonderful final day today! We have several of our exclusive pens remaining, including the final 6 of our new Gemini’s Potion, made by Mikayla @whitebearpens.bsky.social!
Visit us at F37-40 in the foyer near the show entrance
Abstract practice floral art, ink on tomoe river paper (Orange, purple and green)
Abstract Floral Art on watercolor paper, as well as ink swatches
Had a lot of fun at the @sfpenshow.bsky.social with "Abstract Floral Art" - I took it with the idea I'd swatch all my fountain pen ink this way and maybe make some fun cards while I was at it! Very stiff and 2dimensional, I think, but that's what practice is for! #sfpenshow
A selection of Tamagotchi Hobonichi items
The Little House series from Hobonichi
and yes, they had the real book there.. with old book smell and everything
and finally the One Piece set from hobonichi
greetings from the #SFPenshow 🖋️🖋️🖋️The #Hobonichi preview event was a hit! Thanks #Jetpens!!

Okay, here we go! If you like fountain pens this weekend, you want to be in San Francisco for the #sfpenshow. I'll post a few updates during the weekend to give a feeling for what it's like and take you all for a bit of the journey. Lots to see and do, and great times with friends.
A photo of three boxes of fountain pen ink. The first two are the previous two year's colors (Golden Gate Red and San Francisco Bay (teal/blue)), along with the just-announced San Francisco Fog. These inks are made by Colorverse and both a good memento of the show as well as nicely performing colored liquids.
In a couple days I head up to @sfpenshow.bsky.social for 3 days of fountain pen (and related) fun, and time with good friends. Since I'm still somewhat new to bsky and the fp feed, I'll do my best to post a couple of 'show reports' along the way. Stay tuned! #sfpenshow
Activities for kids at SF Pen Show! Win a fountain pen by completing the scavenger hunt and learn about pens and practice handwriting in the PfK seminar!
Thanks to @inkyconverters.bsky.social for the "passport" redesign and volunteer Wendy for teaching the seminar.

Here's how the show ink looks like on (older) tomoe river paper! It's a blue grey fountain pen friendly ink that shades well. Should be great for artists and writers!
Thanks to our sponsor Luxury Brands of America, we will have some bottles for you to win. More details to come on that!

Are you someone who's curious about vintage pens? We have two events for you on Friday evening! (Maybe three...) First, with the @pencollectorsofamerica and the @blackpen_society, there will be a panel "Vintage Pens for the Modern User" where you can hear from collectors about what draws them to vintage pens. Following that, PCA, Black Pen Society, and Pen Notes will host vintage pens "tasting" so you can try out vintage pens yourself. And finally, if you're feeling hooked... The PCA will host an auction where you might just get a "sumgai" deal on a vintage pen or two. Pictured here: Kaweco sport piston filler (1970s), an Aurora 88 (1950s), and a demonstrator Pilot with a unique filling system (1940s). #fountainpens #penshow #thefunpenshow #blackpens #sfps2025 #sfpenshow #sfpenshow2025 #vintage #vintagepens #kaweco #aurorapen #pilotpen #万年筆 #stilografica #パイロット万年筆
