As I've slowly waded into the world of fountain pens this past week, the information on this forum has served as my water wings. I'd like to thank all those who have contributed to such a fascinating and extensive body of information. My hat is off to you.

Welcome! Pity you just missed the pen posse dinner in San Francisco (our events are in the Clubs, Meetings, and Events forum -- the next bay area event is on the 14th).

Welcome Joe,
You'll find a lot of other fountain pen fanciers in Northern California. I'm in Richmond, but you'll find a thriving subculture here. FPN is a great resource as you're finding out.

Hope carries with it optimism, it conquers despair, it refuses to turn back even in the face of impossible odds. It enables us to believe in a vision of tomorrow that will be better than today. Every person that suffered the unspeakable or endured the unimaginable to achieve what was known to be impossible, and discover what others knew did not exist ... every one of these was imbued with Hope.
