I am a 90% will be able to come for an hour. I dont know why but CAMH means nothing to me. I know HSC St Michaels but what is CAMH.

Rob Maguire (Plse call me "M or Mags" like my friends do...)I use a Tablet, Apple Pencil and a fountain pen. Targas, Sailor, MB, Visconti, Aurora, vintage Parkers, all wonderful.

May be able to make it, have to check my work schedule. I'm sure I know a few of you through my travels from shows and so forth but haven't been able to make it out to one of the meet-ups. Are there a few vintage collectors that come? I'm strictly a vintage guy myself and could bring some stuff along.

The split seams to be about 30% vintage and the rest modern, with a lot of crossover. Bring anything you like, I'm sure we would love to see it.

It should also be noted that most of us modern pen people are interested in vintage pens, it's just that vintage pens aren't the focus of our collections for one reason or another.

Oh wow.. I just found out about this meet.. and for one sec I thought I miss it :blink:

 

 

I am sooooo willing to come. I am a new fpn joiner.. and only have very few low end pens (mostly chinese). But if anyone is interested in trying out various types of chinese pens I can bring them along.

 

So, we have an address and time (11:15?).. is there anything else I should know... never been to one of these in my life.

 

Really excited now... :clap1:

Heh heh. Some might say it's just because you haven't yet seen the light...

Cyber6 everyone is super nice. If you are wondering. Bring some favourite paper and bring your pens to show or to try. Any special inks you have or just a fav colour to dip and test. Some times you see an ink you like and you can jot the name down. If you are looking for a pen the odd time someone is selling so cash can be helpful. But these are all about fellowship first and foremost..

I'm falling a bit out of love with Noodler's Navy - does anyone want a sample? Bring a pen to fill or a vial to put it into, and I'll let you take some with you.

 

If you're really nice AND you've never tried Iroshizuku Kon-peki, I *might* be convinced to let you fill up your pen with that too, but only for first time Kon-peki users!

OH YES!!!.. Me want Navy !!!.. I'll bring a sample vial. I'll pass on the Kon-peki offer.. I like darker blues.. I am a dark soul... :ph34r:

 

I do have ink.. (I think I have more inks than pens.. :embarrassed_smile: ).. Tell me what color you would like to try and I'll tell you the brands/names I have in that color.

 

My favorites right now:

 

Black - PR Ebony Blue

Blue - PR Black Magic Blue

Brown - Architekt (De Atramentis) Khaki

Green - Diamine Sherwood Green

Orange - Diamine Amber

Purple - PR Purple Mojo

Red - Chesterfiedl Antique Crimson

Yellow - Bouton D'or (cartridges) - good for mixing.

 

 

BTW.. this offer is open to anyone!! If you would like to try any of these ink, bring an empty pen ... :thumbup:

Can I fill up my visconti inkwells(notice plural) with Noodler's Navy. And I've never tried YOUR Kon-peki so technically I'm also a first timer :)

 

One little rant is I don't get why the Iroshizuku inks aren't filled up to the top like the Noodlers. Its so expensive you think they would fill it up a tad more.

Probably so it doesn't overflow and spill on the first few fills.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
