Recommended Posts

For anyone interested in the Roanoke Pen Club, we are holding our next meeting on Saturday, October 8 at Tanglewood Mall in Roanoke, VA. on the second floor of the mall at noon. There are chairs and tables on the second floor if you want to bring your lunch to the meeting. That is where we'll spread out or pens and inks and hold our meeting.

And an update: Madigan Cochran, Community Coordinator at the Goulet Pen Company is planning on attending this meeting. It will be great to see her and talk to her about Goulet Pens and pens and inks.

For your GPS:

4420-A Electric Rd
Roanoke, VA 24018

Hope we will have a good turnout, we usually have a lot of vintage and modern fountain pens, discussions of pens and pen repair, and a lot of pens inked up to try out. Needless to say, the inked pens will have many different inks for you to use and see.

These meetings are very informal, just to interface with pen lovers and share information.

 

Here is a web site for the club: http://cosmoglassworks.com/roanoke-pen-club/

You can contact Chad Trent from that site for further information.

The Roanoke Pen Club has a Google Group which you can join: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/roanoke-pen-club

 

Or, you can PM me and I'll get back to you quickly.

Hope to see you on October 8, the Roanoke Valley should be lovely in October.

Tom Johnson

 

PS

There are many places to eat around Tanglewood Mall, including an Applebee's at the mall entrance as well as a number of restaurants up and down Electric Road, including Rancho Viejo, a nice Mexican restaurant.

No postings, but we don't need a head count. Come if you can, we'd love to see you and talk/share fountain pens.

      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

      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
