BAPCers:

 

A quick reminder: the next Big Apple Pen Club meeting is this Thursday, December 6th (we meet on the 1st Thursday of every month). Guest speakers are pen luminaries Rick Propas from www.thepenguin.com, David Isaacson, from www.(bleep).com and Mario Campa from www.toysfromtheattic.com. Meeting starts at 7:00 pm and goes to whenever (usually 9:30 or 10:00 pm). Place: 2 Grand Central Plaza on 44th between Lex and 3rd.

 

As always, new members are welcome, and it would be helpful if prior to attending they emailed me at mtsheehan@gmail.com so I can, among other things, get your name in with building security to ensure a quick access to the meeting room.

 

Best, Mike

Can't wait

 

 

 

Why is David's site www.(bleep).com ?????

 

"v a c u m a n i a" is censored for historical reasons. It was before my time, but my understanding is it had something to do with unseemly images hosted there.

Wild BAPC meeting last night with about 30 members in attendance and presentations from handwriting specialist Kaye Gladstone, followed by pen luminaries Mario Campa, from www.toysfromtheattic.com, David Isaacson from www.(bleep).com and Rick Propas from www.thepenguin.com. Rick and Dave walked us through their recent $1 billion purchase of a private collection along with three other members of their "Gang of Five" (check out their Facebook page) and Mario spent time updating us in recent developments in Italian pens. We then attacked Mario in hopes of scooping up some of his fine Italian and vintage offerings. Kapow! What a nite.

      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
