~ Vancouver Pen Club meeting~
Brand-new venue for this meeting !!

Date: Thursday May 18, 2017 (ie. our usual third Thursday of the month)

Place: The Amenities Room of the condominium located at 350 East 2nd Avenue in Vancouver, BC (on the south side of East 2nd Avenue, between Scotia & Brunswick...two & a half blocks east of Main Street). Please knock on the door to be let in. There is free street parking in the area, but it's first come, first served.

Time: 6:00pm to 9:00pm.

Theme: "FIRST & LAST"--THE FIRST FOUNTAIN PEN YOU OWNED & THE LATEST ONE YOU ACQUIRED. Our secondary topic is always Newest Acquisitions (pens, ink or pen-related accessories).

We did "your first fountain pen" as a topic back in January 2010, but we have so many new members, I thought it'd be nice to reuse an old topic. If you don't own your first fountain pen any longer, please tell us about it anyway. I'm also curious as to how (or if) your pen-buying habits have changed over the years (unless you're brand-new to fountain pens....which is perfectly fine!)---ie. did you go from a "first pen" that was a modern pen, and then drifted over to vintage pens...or vice-versa? I think it'll be interesting to hear other members' experiences, so I hope you can make it to the meeting! No need to RSVP...

      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
