Ooooo...so happy to hear this 
Might there be any Schin/Brian collaborations in the bunch again this year? Your work really is so beautiful!
Yep.. Brian has sent me some but I am taking too long in getting them done.. they're coming soon! 
Hip Hip Hooray!!! I'm thinking the demand for these will be equally as competitive (or likely more so) as the online Etsy wars. So, I'm thinking the following tips may be of use for procuring one at the convention:
1. Sweeten Brian and Schin up with lots of happy mail, and candy prior to IAMPETH
2. Forgo sleeping in the Hotel room that you were lucky enough to secure for IAMPETH and instead roll out your sleeping bag beside the Vendor room to ensure early access when these lovelies go on sale.
3. Give the kindest possible stink-eye to any other lovely calligraphers who are wanting to purchase the same Brian/Schin creation as you
4. Preload cash, candy, and wine bottles in hand before approaching vendor table
5. Find and purchase Dream Pen Holder and cherish it for LIFE!!! (happy dance optional, but will be hard to resist)
6. Try hard to listen to all IAMPETH lectures and to not get lost staring at the beauty you are holding in your hand.
What did I miss?
Haha, in all seriousness, I love these special creations you all make and appreciate that you both take the time to share such talent with the rest of us. I'm am dreaming of being a happy owner one day, but I promise that no elbows or evil stares will be thrown if I don't walk away with one this year (heaven forbid).
