2011 Arkansas Pen & Watch Show


Mauricio

Recommended Posts

Wish I had remembered to bring my camera! I think this is the first show I didn't get a pic of every one and never did end up with one of me and Danny. It was such a blast! Can't wait for the next one!

Depends... are we using USMCMoms way of counting? If so it should only be a few weeks.... or something like that!

I would never do that to a fellow pen friend!

Oh, I know you wouldn't. As for my special way of counting ... you're just not accustomed to it and it only works when you're waiting for something special. I haven't figured out how long before the next Little Rock show, though. LOL

Well, if those dates were nearer to the Philly show dates.........does anyone know those for next year?.............. I could do both! How I'd love to come to Little Rock - I hear the Lobster is very good there!!! :drool:

 

By the way, and please excuse my manners, but four postcards landed here last week, covered in wonderful greetings from lots of people - Mauricio, your calligraphy is wonderful! Henry and Wendi, John Mortinson was behind them all, with Susan Wirth of course...........and so many lovely people!!! :bunny01: :bunny01: :bunny01: :bunny01: :bunny01:

 

I meant to thank you ALL then, but somehow my desk became the site of sorrow when a pen was stolen from the mail to me - but I've bounced back - and will forever be looking for an Omas Autunno with tweaked fine nib! :crybaby:

Each day is the start of the rest of your life!

Make it count!!!

John was so very nice to facilitate that...thoughtful fellow.

What dreadful news about your pen! Did you ever touch the package? I am soooo sorry, Chris! :crybaby:

Thanks Wendi! I posted here and other places about the theft - here is the link -

so I did touch the package, opened it, then handed it over to the Australian PO for investigation - still waiting............. and no doubt we all know what they will say! :crybaby:

 

Thanks for your empathy!

Each day is the start of the rest of your life!

March 23-25 was not a good option as it will be Spring Break in Arkansas.

Last night, our club voted on the date for this event. The date is ...

 

March 30 to April 1, 2012

A new post will be created once we have all the details for the 2012 Arkansas Pen & Watch Show.

We wanted to give you as much headup as possible so you can mark your calendars now.

Looking forward to another huge round of pen fun next year!

Tu Amigo!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
