Hey guys! We were at the 2008 Chicago Pen Show a few hours ago, to catch a glimpse of the event, before the “Big Day” later today, Sunday, May 4, when the doors open to the public. It was already quiet when we got to the venue at Westin O’Hare, but we still spotted a number of attendees conferring with each other. Here’s some of the initial photos we took.

This is a very soothing impression you’ll see as you will enter the hotel lobby.

An arrow directs participants to that show.

Some of the participants surf the Internet during their down time.

And finally, we met up with our new friends from Francis and Spain, who came all the way from their to attend the Pen Show.
