Today is Packing Day

Today, everything must get packed - all of our pens, inks and other writing things for the LA Pen Show along with clothes, shoes and the other necessities for a 2 week road trip.  The strange part of all this is that today is Friday and we're not leaving until Sunday, but on Saturday we're off at 5AM to a Fort Madison High School Show Choir competition in Troy, Missouri - departure time 5AM, return time if we're lucky 2AM.  Yes, this qualifies as an all day event!   So the plan is to pack the car when we get back from Troy, grab some sleep and leave for our LA Pen Show Adventure 8AM Sunday morning.   I'm a little weary just thinking about it, but it will all be forgotten once we hit the road.

For our Pendemonium customers peeking in today - a reminder that our retail shop is closed and our last batch or orders has been shipped this morning.  Our online shop is of course open 24/7 and we will acknowledge all your orders from the road and answer emails.  We'll resume shipping the week of February 22nd. 

We have a long list of people to send postcards to from Route 66.  We'd love to send one to you, too.  Just email us with your name and snail mail address and sometime in the next couple of weeks we'll mail you an old fashioned picture postcard from a post office on Route 66.

That's all for now.  It's back to packing, packing and yet more packing!  I'm ready to get this show on the road!
