Hello everyone,

 

I just got this email message from Pelikan today:

 

Dear fans of the Pelikan Hubs,
The Pelikan Hubs event is connected with joy and heart warming cheerfulness in the fans minds. It is an enrichment for all the pen lovers who love handwriting and writing instruments.
Normally the registration would start within the next days. But we think it would be careless to ask people worlwide actively to meet, when the risks of spreading Covid-19 are still rated very high worldwide.
That is why we decided with a heavy heart to cancel this years Pelikan Hubs event and concentrate on looking forward to meeting all close Pelikan fans at Pelikan Hubs 2021 again! With joy, cheerfulness and a good feeling!
We kindly ask for your understanding and hope that you support this decision in terms of caring for each other. Please take care of yourself and your beloved ones and stay passionate to handwriting in these times. Most important at all: stay healthy!
Sending you best wishes,
Your Pelikan Hubs Team from Hanover

I got the same email. While I understand their reasoning, it's still kind of a bummer.

Yes, it’s a pity but at the moment, it’s something to be expected. I think it is a wise decision to postpone these sort of meetings.

I think I was not alone in anticipating that would happen. I ordered and already received a bottle of Moonstone ink to avoid double disappointment.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

Having missed the memo about Pelikan Hubs ("What are they?") last year, I was very much looking forward to attending one in 2020, picking up some freebies courtesy of Pelikan but also bringing some ink samples to give away to local fellow hobbyists (as I'm done doing ink sample set giveaways for the time being) I may meet there.

 

Oh well. Next year.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

      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
