I: Next PPPC meeting

 

Our next meeting will be on

Saturday, October 20 from 11: to 2:

Our meeting will be at the Lathrop Library Room 282, on the Stanford campus

<http://library.stanford.edu/libraries/lathrop/about>.

[We have had several previous meeting at the same location]

 

If you haven’t been to a PPPC meeting before, it’s a place to buy, sell, or trade pens. Show off your pens, or see other people’s collection. You can find someone who can tell you about that mystery pen you found, or how to get a pen repaired.

New members are always welcome.

 

If you are not familiar with the Stanford campus, it can be hard to navigate for the first time. The library is near the Stanford Oval if that helps. You can also use Google Maps to find the site: https://goo.gl/maps/sbH66suqtp42

Lots of free parking around the library on Saturday.

 

Thanks to Lawrence Chiou for arranging the space. Directions below are copied from his earlier email:

 

Directions and parking

 

We will be meeting on the Stanford University campus at Lathrop Library, (518 Memorial Way, Stanford, CA 94305). There is ample free parking located in several lots near the library: outside of Bing Concert Hall and the Cantor Arts Center and also around the Oval (Palm Drive). The south end of the Bing Concert Hall lot is recommended.

By public transportation, the Marguerite X, Y, and P lines should take you directly from the Palo Alto Transit Center to the intersection of Serra and Galvez (X and Y) or the Oval (P).

 

II: Other stuff at Stanford

If you are interested in more culture, we will be a short walk to the Cantor Arts Center.

Museum entry is free. There is also a café in the museum.

 

We’re also about a 10 minute walk from Tressider Student Union (to buy food) and the Stanford student store (to buy stuff).

 

III: Dues

You can pay Todd annual dues at the meeting.

The club policy is that new members are welcome to attend their first meeting at no charge to decide if the club is right for you.

Dues pay for locations we need to rent, and food.

 

IV: Facebook Group

The PPPC has a Facebook group < https://www.facebook.com/groups/PPPC1/> Club members are welcome to join.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
