Vancouver Pen Club---July 2018 meeting info:

Date: Thursday July 19, 2018

Time: 6:00pm to 8:30pm (Don't worry if you're late---we usually start at around 6:30 ;)

Place: The KITSILANO branch of the Vancouver Public Library, located at 2425 Macdonald Street (between Broadway & West 8th) in Vancouver, BC. This is the same venue where we met in February 2018.

The meeting will take place in their Program Room (community/meeting room), which is on the lowest level of the library basement. No food allowed in the library, but covered drinks are ok.

Topic: BUYER'S REMORSE & NON-BUYER'S REGRET
Our meeting theme will cover fountain pens you bought but later regretted buying (Buyer's Remorse) plus fountain pens you didn't buy and regretted not doing so (Non-Buyer's Regret). Please bring 1-3 examples of fountain pens that you regretted buying, and then tell us about a pen or two you wish you'd bought but didn't (if you happened to find and buy the pen/pens at a later date, please bring them with you to show). If you don't have any remorse or regret about your pen-buying, lucky you :lol: But seriously, please come anyway and see what others have brought! (thanks to FPNer DrCodfish for the topic idea---I saw this recent thread and was inspired)
Our secondary topic 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! No need to RSVP for any regular meeting not held at a restaurant!

      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
