The Dallas Pen Show starts tomorrow at 1:00 PM (until 8:00 PM) at the Holiday Inn Select in Richardson (just north of Dallas on the access road, just south of the Bush Turnpike). Admission is free to attend, and I believe all the tables were sold long ago. It has been reported that some tables had to be put in the lobby due to high demand. It also runs Saturday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Editor Bill and I will be there observing, taking pictures, recording and videoing. Make yourself a nametag with your FPN username on it. Avatar too, if you can get it printed like that. See you there!

The DALLAS PEN SHOW http://www.dallaspenshow.com/ starts tomorrow at 1:00 and runs through Saturday at 5. All tables are sold(73) with a good mix of modern and vintage dealers. The show is sponsored by the non-profit North Texas Pen Collectors Club for the benefit of its members and the greater Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. As usual we have a great group of vendors including Pendemonium, Susan Wirth, Larry Dromgoole and Boris Rice from Houston, Retro 51, Sherrell and Joel of Inkpen, Laban, Tim Pierson, and approximately 40 others. Also, Ed will be back at it doing every ones name in beautiful calligraphy, David Moak will have his hot off the press Mabie Todd book, And Bill Aker with have all of his repro catalogs available. To top it all off we have a great silent auction going both Fri afternoon and all day Sat with outstanding modern and vintage pens available to the highest bidder. This has proved to be a lot of fun for all attendees and does help the pen club coffers. Admission is absolutely free and we are having a drawing for a beautiful Waterman LE. Over 600 are expected to attend the two day show. Hope to see you there.

 

Regards,

      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
