== St Louis Pen Show ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' All right. This episode is brought to you in part by the St. Louis pen show. Don't you just love the feel of writing with fountain pen and documenting your thoughts and ideas, journaling, or maybe even just doodling. If that's you, and that is you because you listened to this podcast. The 2024 St. Louis pen show is the place for you. It's on Thursday, June 20th through to Sunday, June 23rd in the suburbs of St. Louis at the Sheraton Westport lakeside chalet on beautiful Westport Plaza. There's plenty of free parking and it's only 10 minutes from, what's the name of this airport, Brad? Crave. Oh boy. C-R-E-V-E. C-O-E-U-R. I don't even know how to say that, but Brad, we'll come back to you, but it's the airport. We'll call it for the moment. And there's so much to look forward to Thursday's trade a day and includes a party on the plaza with a live band. And Friday has an evening event of vintage pen panels and pen tasting. Yep. Followed by a free dessert party. I love the pen tasting. I love that as a phrase. It's so good.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We're actually going to talk about that as a concept here later in the show. Amazing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' On Saturday, you can enjoy the evening pen show after dark in the hotel bar. Sunday, you'll get uninterrupted browsing time for over 85 vendors from 42 states and Canada as well with a great mix of products. There'll be new modern vendors like Tachya, Sailor, and Pens Empire. And you'll see artisan pens and pencils from brands like Hardee's, Right Turns, and Country Made. Not to mention ink journals, paper stationery clothing, pen storage, and vintage pen dealers featuring show circuit favorites. Plus, there's a free ink testing, silent auction, and so much more. I've got to say, I've got to say, Brad, this seems like the Avengers endgame of pen shows. This is like everything good that I hear about any pen show. It feels like St. Louis is doing it. And I think that's awesome. This sounds like a great time.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, they do a good job putting the show on. And I haven't been yet, but it's always at the top of my list. It's always a tough week for me schedule-wise. But I think for a lot of people in the middle of summer, especially if you can drive to this, you should make the effort to get to the St. Louis pen show.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Did you find out the name of the airport for me yet?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, I see St. Louis Lambert International Airport, so I don't know if it's Lambert or Lambert.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, it's not that at all, so I'm going to Google it now.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, I've Googled it, and it still hasn't helped me. Crave, Crave, I think it's like a smaller airport. C-R-E-V-E-C-O-E-U-R is the name.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I mean, Coor is heart, so there's something about the heart. Crave, Coor.
