2023 D.C. Pen Show Vlog | My first pen show experience + haul

Come with me to the 2023 D.C. Pen Show!

The D.C. Fountain Pen Supershow is supposedly the largest pen show in the world. It’s held annually in Northern Virginia (so really, they should call it the VA Pen Show, haha).

Highlights from the show: attending the live recording of Episode 100 of the Goulet Pens podcast (it’s out now and they answered the question I submitted!), my fountain pen nib grinding appointment with JJ Lax, and spending time with friends/bonding over fountain pens and journaling!

This was my first pen show and it was a great experience!
