Free Pens for Everyone at Dot Com Pho

written by John Chow on May 7th, 2008

Bic Promo Pens

A big thanks goes out to Bic Promo Pens for sending over a nice golf shirts and two bags full of pens and highlighters. One bag is for me to do with as I please. The other bag is clearly marked, “Other bloggers at Dot Com Pho.” That mean anyone coming to this week’s Dot Com Pho will be taking home some nice writing instruments.

This Saturday’s Dot Com Pho is shaping up to be our biggest ever. Not only will we have Yaro Starak of Entrepreneurs-Journey there, but BlueFur will be bringing their blue crew. Rumor has it that local celebrity blogger, Miss 604, will also be making an appearance. I wonder if I can get Mostly Lisa to get her butt down there?

If you’re in the Vancouver area and have nothing better to do this Saturday, then come on down to Dot Com Pho and meet your favorite bloggers. Contact me if you want to join the fun. The worst thing that can happen is you’ll get some free pens from Bic Promo Pens!

That reminds me. I need to make more John Chow dot Com pens.

He gave you a bag too but you haven’t wrote anything about it! You can forget about getting any more pens from him! :twisted:

Yeah, he gave us those pens a while ago. I should really get around to writing a post of my own to thank him…. I’ve got new MichaelKwan.com pens too. Maybe I’ll bring a few to pho. :)

Check out DotComPho.com. The site still needs a theme, but it has all of our videos thus far.

It’s just a pen, wait till he figures out a way to give away the Macbook Air, then start asking for prizes.

I’d prefer the pen :lol:

You’d prefer a pen over a Macbook Air? If you aren’t a Mac fan (don’t worry, I use PC’s) at least you could sell the MAcbook Air for $2k on eBay and then you coul dhave a pen empire!

It’s not the pens, it’s the hassle and freight that’s a pain with so many packages going to different countries :)

Don’t knock pens; I still receive my Lingstar pens from various companies every year and now hide them from my kids. It’s the only way I actually can find writing implements about the house (given the speed my children consume anything ink-bearing).

Enjoy,

Barbara

Pretty soon you’ll have to ask the owner to expand his restaurant so you can get a bigger crowd at Dot Com Pho.

well if you are so much interested in pens then you can place an order with “johnchow” written on them.

I don’t really use pens anymore … maybe they should have given you a PDA or a laptop.
It would have been more useful :)

They missed the paper. So they can write using the pen :smile:

I guess you’ll have to buy some paper… especially now that you have a pen :)

Is it just me… but I was wondering, what does Pho mean exactly? I already know that it’s cool and if you’re blogging you should be there, but what does it mean…?
