On Saturday, September 6, and Sunday, September 7, we will be hosting a
special Mini Pen Show with a bunch of special guests! It is going to
be an amazing weekend…
John and Michele are celebrating the two year anniversary of the best
decision of their lives — owning Crazy Alan’s Emporium. They want to
celebrate with all of you!!!
Kirk Speer of the Pen Realm fame will be set up to work on all of your
pesky nibs and will make all of your nib dreams come true. We are so
excited to host Kirk — he has been an amazing support to the
evolution of Crazy Alan’s Emporium since it was a twinkle in John and
Michele’s eye. We are grateful for his shared expertise! Sign up for a
time slot here:

Alan Cohen will be with us on Saturday, September 6, to hold court
once again! He will have a variety of pens that we don’t normally have
on hand, and will be looking to make deals!
The star of Inkdependence, Mike Matteson, will be joining us with his
expertise and charm. He will also have a great selection of his
exclusive inks for you to peruse. It is always a good time when Mike
is around!
Joe Little, of Little Pen Designs, will be setting up with his
gorgeous goods. We are very excited to see what this local maker has
been up to. You can definitely find quality and unique pens, pencils,
and other wares at Little Pen Designs.
Bill Maier, local author of the amazing Word Scramble puzzle book
series will be set up to chat and puzzle you with his wit and charm.
We love having Bill spend time in the shop!
And we still have a month of planning and plotting — this is going to
be an epic weekend.
