OMG...I so wish I could go, but Dallas is next week and I'm here!

 

Gorgeous inks I can only wish for....how sad!

So, what's your point?

What was that comment at the end about "any show could be a person's last show"? That's rather worrisome. Is he alright?

 

I think that was in reference to the fact that the Boston Pen Show is getting smaller and smaller each year and may soon be a thing of the past. This is nothing more than my interpretation.

So, what's your point?

Oh I am SOOOO looking forward to Sunday. I had wanted to try and go last year, because my husband was going to go visit his mom that week -- and I had said "hey, if you stay another day I can come with you and go to the show...." Only then he had emergency gall bladder surgery, and there went the fall trip to New England.

@ framebaer: You do realize that you are a TOTAL enabler, right? :wallbash:

All three inks are stunning. Ruth, you must get some!

Well, I'd have to see Forest Wilderness in person -- I'm not much for green inks (although this one doesn't look too bad -- I know I don't have any dark greens).

But the blue looks interesting (okay, like I really need another blue ink, but still...). And that purple one looks awesome. My first Noodler's pen was a King Philip resin Creaper, so I was hooked even before the added inducement of Charlie pens.... Also kinda like some of those funky looking pen blank colors (were those also Creapers? I couldn't tell) towards the end of the video. Not sure one of the 14K nib pens is in the budget, though (I think the Neponsets are too big for my hand, although I was going give the acrylic ones a look-see; and while the idea of putting a triumph nib into a Konrad is interesting on principle, watching Mr. T. wrap the section with teflon tape made me a little squeamish...).

All I can say is... since I can't make the show, I'm buyin' tape.

 

Honestly, if I could go, all the inks, all the pens, and a buncha other stuff would walk home with me.

At the Dallas show next weekend there should be one of Nathan's special editions that he does for Dromgoole's every year. I get the feeling that Boston got the best colors, though. Unfortunately, I don't have an operative in the People's Republic. :D

*sigh* Sometimes it's hard living on the west coast.

So space and time are linked together. As we are looking across space, we are looking back in time. The further and further away those stars are the further back in time you are looking. Now you are seeing a star that is say six thousand years ago. Imagine somebody at that star looking at us They would be seeing us as we were six thousand years ago. Which of those two is now? - Alan Parsons Project The Time Machine - Temporalia (Paraphrased)

      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
