Thats the problem, I didnt think I would have it in time,... but I got the shipping notice from Japan this morning, being sent EMS, I may now get it by friday so it indeed may make it to the show. Problem is I may not have time to do a review on it so that may have to wait till I get home lol
Anyone apart from me thinking of doing the Deborah Basel Italics "Workshop" on Friday afternoon at the DC pen show?
Or, I suppose, her Copperplate workshop the morning of that day.
Actually, based on her description on the Pen Show web site, I am kind of torn between the two classes. The Copperplate class sounds kind of like a learn to use a flex nib class, which seems very cool and "toward" Spencerian, which is what I would really like to be taking. Whereas italics is really closer to what I have been trying to learn as my every day hand with K Gladstone. No way am I doing 8 hours of workshop though!
Anyone have any thoughts on Ms. Basel? I have not done any research yet.

dont know her but it sounds interesting, dont know what time we will be there though
Do you have a listing of classes that would be offered?
For Basel, scroll down about 1/2 way on the home page for the Supershow at http://www.pencentral.com/
Apparently you sign up directly through her. I sent her an email this afternoon asking about availability, but have not heard back.
Look around the website and see if there is anything else. I think there is a kid's program in the afternoon on Saturday. But there may well be other things, like pen repair, somewhere on there, too.
Getting four pens tuned on the spot at the show may be a little ambitious. It's a nice show but it's not that big or crazy.
i have two or three i may want tuned as well... i am hoping for the best... i have them lined up in priority fix my FA from the nib hit amd needlepoint it as well... them if i can and have it in time needlepoint my justus.

bees a buzzin
Bears a trotting
Turnips fall off truck
you coming out for any of the lunches Rudy ?
Im going to be there for the duration of the show, so i don't have to have all four tuned at once.
Two that I am bringing, I hope that Brian and I, as well as anyone else can work on them ourselves. I have two others that need some nib work.

What are the plans for a meet-up at the show? I'll be driving in from PA on Saturday and should be there at the opening. I won't be sticking around Saturday evening, so a lunch get-together would be good for me.
