DC Fountain Pen Supershow 2025
Blaugust2025I spent a couple hours at the DC Fountain Pen Supershow, the largest fountain pen show in the world (their words, not mine).
This is the third year I've been and it doesn't get any less overwhelming. There are hundreds of vendors and booths. If you want it, you'll find it! I didn't go with an agenda or a list of things I wanted. I just wandered and let things "speak" to me. My wife asked for a specific pen, which I found.
It's always a fun and jaw-dropping event. I scored a new Diplomat Aero pen, five new inks, and some stickers. I also picked up the pen the wife wanted and a pen case for her. All-in-all, not bad; I could have done a lot more damage! Here's a photo of the whole weekend's haul (Stationery Day at Penny Post and the DC Supershow):
And here are my swatches of the new inks:
