Vancouver Pen Club---October meeting details (Pen & Ink Swap, too!)

Date: Thursday October 19, 2017
Time: 6:00pm to 9:00pm.
Place: The amenities room of the condominium building located at 350 East 2nd Avenue, Vancouver, BC (on the south side of East 2nd Avenue, between Scotia & Brunswick, two & a half blocks east of Main Street). This is the same place we used for our September meeting.
No need to RSVP, just drop in! :)


Topic: BEGINNER FOUNTAIN PENS. Please bring 1-3 fountain pens that you think might be well-suited to those who are just getting into fountain pens---either school-aged children or adults. If you don't have any fountain pens that fit the topic, no worries---just come and see what others brought. Many thanks to Tony for the idea!
Our secondary theme is always Newest Acquisitions, so if you have any new pens, ink or pen-related accessories (e.g. pen cases), please bring them with you to show. Don't worry if you don't have anything for the topics---just come to the meeting and see what others brought!


PEN & INK SWAP--- it's all voluntary, of course, so if you have any ink or pens you want to trade (or sell), please bring them with you to the meeting. This is a great chance to unload some pens and ink that you aren't using very much, and to get something that you might get more use out of. Oh, and the ink can be in bottles (they don't have to be full bottles) or cartridges.

      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
