Leadhead's Tread: Baltimore 2012 Show Report

Before this last weekend, neither Janet nor I had ever been to Baltimore, but we received a great introduction to the city when we decided to attend the second Baltimore Pen Show this year!   For such a new show, this one already has that warm, comfortable feeling, like attending a family reunion -- in a good way, that is -- I mean, the kind of reunion you'd have with family you like.

The Baltimore show is smaller than the other shows I regularly attend, but I don't like to use the word "small," because it sounds like a negative.  "Intimate" might be a better word to use.  I knew nearly all of the people who were in attendance, and since it was a smaller show, I didn't feel so rushed to see everything -- that meant I was able to spend much more time talking with people and catching up during the show.   I thought it was a good thing.

I should have taken shots during the show on Saturday, but I was pretty busy messing around with pencils.  Sunday morning I did take a couple pictures of the rooms in which the show was held . . .
