sashimimi Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I am hoping to find a pen club in or around Reno, NV. I jut relocated to the area, and I know that there are some collectors around because the antique shops are picked over! Link to post Share on other sites
JotterAddict62 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Greetings,I lived in Reno from 6-89 to 8-92 way way before I started pen collecting. What i can tell you is the city bus service is great. A person can get around the Reno/Sparks area with great ease. When I first moved to Reno the first thing I did was buy a city map and went to the RTC [ Regional Transportation Commission ]on 4th street downtown, bought a monthly bus pass and grab 1 copy of each bus route map. Enjoy your time there and enjoy the hunt for pens. Plenty of things to do, I was too busy working full time and going back to school four nights a week for two years at 28 to have to much fun. Enjoy.

sashimimi Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Thanks for the advice Jotter! This is also one of the more bike-able towns I have lived in in a long time. I ride by that bus station every day on my way to the University, catty corner to Louis! Lots of great people, lots of things to do, and, I hope, some other pen enthusiasts!

JotterAddict62 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The bike and foot path along the Truckee is a nice way to spend the day. i also once rode my bicycle around the whole circut of McCarran Blvd. Link to post Share on other sites

Brioche Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'm in Carson City. Has anyone called the pen shop in Reno to ask if there is a club? http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/606/letterji9.pnghttp://img244.imageshack.us/img244/5642/postcardde9.png Link to post Share on other sites
Beerman Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Wich store? Oakman's? Link to post Share on other sites
Brioche Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yes, Oakman's. I've never visited the store and don't know anything about it. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/606/letterji9.pnghttp://img244.imageshack.us/img244/5642/postcardde9.png Link to post Share on other sites
sashimimi Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 I swung by there the other day, but they are only open during the week. If people would like to meet up and discuss pens/writing etc, I would be excited, that would make 3 of us in the RTC area! Link to post Share on other sites
Beerman Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 That sounds good. Maybe we could exchange ink samples. Link to post Share on other sites
sashimimi Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Let's make this happen, perhaps at a local bar or coffee bar depending on who would like to join. I am partial to the hub or maybe bibo on record if we are talking coffee, or one of the midtown establishments if we are talking something with a little more EtOh. Link to post Share on other sites
Beerman Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Bibo's on record st works great for me.I am on campus most days. Link to post Share on other sites
sashimimi Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 hmm maybe a tuesday or wednesday after the work day? Brioche are you interested? Link to post Share on other sites
Beerman Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 A Tuesday would work better for me Link to post Share on other sites

crazyaaron63 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hey guys! I am moving up here to Reno in the fall for school and I just stopped by oakmans unable to find it. I called their number and it was disconnected. Are they out of business? Link to post Share on other sites
