📹 VLOG | San Francisco International Pen Show 2024! | My FIRST Pen Show!

[@gratiaification]

Oh my! Going to the pen show is now on my bucket list! Great video ❤

[@journalwithjas]

Thank you so much! I had such a great time it’s not a high travel priority for me 😁

[@wiresandwaves]

Thank you for taking us through the event. I definitely need to go next year!

[@fountainpeninsanity3344]

I don’t know if I will ever get to a pen show like this, but it looks like so much fun. Thank you!

[@journalwithjas]

It was so fun! I hope the opportunity arises that you can go to one in the future 😊

[@PlanYourOneLife]

Aww, man, I wish that I would have been able to go. 30% off of the Shape of Heart fp was a steal!

[@GenieGallaher]

I'm so glad I got the chance to meet you! It was such a fun show this year and lots of amazing vendors to shop at.

[@journalwithjas]

It was so nice talking with you and your husband ☺️

[@mauishopgirll]

One of the better vlogs I’ve seen, thank you for the calm steady speaking and clearly stating the vendors. I was not as organized as you and I only had part of day 1 so I missed a lot. I also had my fiancé with me and I didn’t want him to feel like he was just following me around so I didn’t press ahead if I could tell he was interested in something that caught his eye. Nice haul! Mine was much smaller but proud to say filled holes or gaps for me so I felt it was productive and meaningful.

[@journalwithjas]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I felt shy to be recording so much with friends I was meeting for the first time but luckily they kept each other entertained while I filmed away 😂 I know what you mean about your partner being a shadow and following along. There is that sense of pressure to make sure they aren’t bored out of their minds haha!

[@tootsfour956]

Jasmin, this is the best vid of the SF pen show I have seen. I am subscribing to your channel . Blessings

[@journalwithjas]

Thank you so much! That means so much to me! I wanted to capture the essence of the show for my own memories but also for any first timers thinking of attending the show in the future!

[@NICUBookworm]

amazing!! It was my first pen show! and I wasn't really sure about waiting in all the lines to the stationery companies that you went to. next year I will give it more time. next time I will definitely check out more inks!

[@journalwithjas]

I was also surprised to see lines for stationery shops!

[@storge306]

Thank you ever so much for taking us along with you. A wonderful overview 🤩

[@8ev8ev8ev]

Living vicariously through your video. Glad your friend was able to get the Esterbrook Bungubox fp, it's so beautiful I have mine in the 1.5 stub.

[@fountainPENdulum]

This was so fun to watch! I love the Sailor KOP Kissan, but the price and the fact that it is only available in M or B deters me. Thanks for coming by our table! I love the Sticker you shared with me, it's definitely a favorite from the show! Well done!

[@journalwithjas]

I did not know the KOP Kissan only comes in limited nib sizes! If I were to ever get a KOP it’s definitely the Kissan 😍 Thank you so much for watching and that makes me feel so great that you loved the sticker design!

[@eevawns]

Amazed at how quickly you edited this!!

[@journalwithjas]

Thank you!

[@florenceantonette]

LOVED seeing your experience with the show!! So many goodies and a lot of fun. You're super woman for getting this up ASAP.

[@journalwithjas]

Next time you will have to be with us!

[@lilakaliene]

Thank you for sharing your adventurers at the SF Pen Show. I haven't attended any pen shows before and hope to atrend the LA Pen Show next year. I love the color of the Plotter you purchased. 🧡 I would probably be in awe to meet the stationery addicts in person.

[@journalwithjas]

I hope to attend the one in LA as well! It really is so fun I’m already looking forward to the next one! Maybe I just leave my wallet at home 😆

[@christinasoto6770]

I love watching your videos, and your voice is soothing it has a calming effect on me, but now I'm obsessing about that washi tape from Tokubetsomemori and I don't know the name!! aaah! LOL

[@journalwithjas]

Her shop has so much to go through!

[@butwhycats]

Looks like so much fun!! Maybe… next year…

[@journalwithjas]

We must go next year!

[@stefgen04]

First timer here and was only able to go to 2nd day because of personal schedule. But oh man, I will be planning my next pen show as early as today (lol) I want to do the early access and be there from Day 1-3 hahahaha

[@journalwithjas]

It was definitely worth it to do the early access! The first day is definitely where it’s at too in terms of getting what you came for.

[@PenguinsCreative]

What a great vlog for a first pen show! Your documenting is so wholesome and fruitful!

[@journalwithjas]

Thank you April!

[@withcuratedjoy]

Thank you for sharing your SF experience… looked like it was a great time

[@kitki83]

First time there, and I enjoyed how friendly the other visitors were.

[@journalwithjas]

Everyone was so kind! I’m glad you also had a great experience.

[@timewithtata8004]

Such a great vlog! I'm so happy that you had a good time!! Love your new Plotter!

[@journalwithjas]

Thank you Lori!

[@snarkywordsworth]

I loved hearing all about your experiences in San Francisco and at the pen show. The clips of you sightseeing were great, as were, of course, all the shots at the show itself. I think I was shopping at Pinky Elephant right as you were lining up to get your numbers for the LittleLu drawings - I wish I had been less overwhelmed by everything so I could have stopped to say hello. Thanks for sharing! 😍

[@journalwithjas]

It was very overwhelming!! So much to see and crowds to navigate through! I hope you had a great time though 😊

[@gordonb9316]

Great to see all that I missed. Thanks for sharing!

[@drazenmanansala5636]

❤

[@deannacorinna]

I smiled ear to ear watching the whole vlog!!! So happy for you both and what an incredible experience as your first pen show!!! I loved it all!! 🥰🥰🥳🥳

[@journalwithjas]

Next year it will be you in the video!!!!

[@penthevision4706]

🙌😍

[@BrandiIsLost]

Wonderful vlog! Amazing haul!

[@maripyxis]

Well done in putting together all that footage :P It was super nice to watch the SF Pen Show through your experience. :) xoxo

[@journalwithjas]

Thank you! I definitely blacked out from all my purchases 😂 I needed to jog my memory through editing on what happened 🤣

[@maripyxis]

@@journalwithjas Ahahah Anyone in your shoes would 🤣

[@journalwithfran]

I loved watching your tour through SF. I grew up in SF, and watching some of your video clips makes me want to play tourist with my toddler. Alsoooo, i agree. Boudin is whatevs.. I usually always take my visiting friends to Chowder’s which is a chowder spot on Fisherman’s Wharf! So much better than Boudinin my opinion. Hope you consider coming again next year so I can say hi in person :) hehe

[@journalwithjas]

We wish we listened to the warning signs to avoid this touristy restaurant 😆 we didn’t know of a chowder bowl alternative!

[@lianelikes]

Wow, can’t believe this video is already up!!! It was also my first pen show, I’m sad I totally missed you!!! I was only there for Friday, loved how you paced yourself over the three days. And that TRC stamp is perfect to close out your weekend.

[@journalwithjas]

I blacked out this weekend so relied on my own video to find out what did I do?! 😂 I’m so sad I missed you too! I saw you were there Friday once the day was done and hoped to see you Saturday but I see now you just went one day!

[@ChenyeTripp]

Thank you for sharing your trip and stickers.

[@begeekie]

I went the second day, most of the the things I was in the hunt for were sold out already. 😅 It was crowded but not as much as I see the first day was. Next time I will plan ahead better, I like your floor planning idea, may give it a try. Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed your video.

[@journalwithjas]

Yes Friday was insane! We kept looking to see how much was being cleared out and I’d say for popular tables it can be expected they sell out the first day.

[@Aqua_Metztli_Janus]

Thank you so much for the experience through your video! Super jelly! 😄 I’ve never been to SF but hope to go one day. 😊

[@sandysjournals]

Ahhh so fun! I love the pen show energy

[@journegirl3]

Amazing event and you made it look fabulous

[@lizdubdub]

Great video!

[@julia-here]

What a great vlog! I enjoyed seeing all the familiar faces :) - hope to hang out next year!!

[@journalwithjas]

I would love to see you at a pen show in the future!

[@Oscarito_us]

this was cool to see! I'm super basic and am a fan of just black and blue ink but open to try new in the future. I also don't think I would have contained myself and would have gone over budget 🤣

[@journalwithjas]

It’s easy for me to refrain from inks but hard to say no to different nib grinds! I don’t know any of the people I was with that stayed within budget 😆

[@silviapopa1121]

Oh no! The clam chowder was not as good? 😨 that is one thing i keep thinking about whenever i contemplate returning to SF.

[@journalwithjas]

I would try to find a mom and pop shop! Avoid the commercialized tourist trap 😆

[@alwynwatkins1955]

I am just going to ask, because it looks so interesting. In your thumbnail picture, you are standing with an oversized retractable nib, which seems to have multiple tips. What pen is it supposed to be? Like your overview of the show.

[@journalwithjas]

It is the Pilot Vanishing Point fountain pen! One side of it was clear to show the inner mechanism and it actually did retract!

[@mykidshave4paws]

Wow what a great vlog, I really enjoyed watching & listening, as if we took a stroll ourselves! OMG the Plotter is amazing, what a gem and no.6?! So cool!! Txs for sharing Jasmin 😻😻😻 hugs from Belgium 🤗
