Are you making rules about someone making rules where no rules exist?

 

Not rules. Just saying how I did it. Persistence! Enthusiasm! Persistence!

You don't begin a Pen Posse with the Pen Posse you want to emulate; you begin Pen Posse by calling Pen Posse and showing up, calling Pen Posse and showing up, calling Pen Posse and showing up... until it becomes the Pen Posse with a life of its own.

That's why you pick a place where you'd want to go anyway, in case you're the only one who shows up. Report back on what you did at Pen Posse, even if you were the only one who showed up, and keep calling them.

 

We just need the South Bay/Silicon Valley branch of the SF Pen Posse to come to life.

First meet is scheduled and restaurant booked for April 2nd.

What we should encourage is to have more people attend the Pan Pacific Pen Club meetings which are essentially mini-pen shows. Last one had several 1000 pens for sale. Anyone can join, they let me in.

San Francisco International Pen Show - The next “Funnest Pen Show” is on schedule for August 23-24-25, 2024.  Watch the show website for registration details.

No, what we should encourage is for Elon Musk to get off his fat ass and make that teleportation project a reality so I can get up there easily to these events.

 

And Ether, too, if she would like. Everybody teleport!

We usually get half dozen from the capital area and beyond. Members as far as that leaking dam!

Back to my regular account. I have FINALLY been able to put more thought into this and have started a Facebook group for this group and will soon have a Meet Up group for it which will draw more members since lots of people do not use Facebook but use Meet Up.

 

If those who expressed interest are still into the idea and have Facebook please join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SacramentoFountainPenCollectorsAssociation/

Giving the SacFPCA FB a shot. This is only my second post on the FPN!

 

Can't wait to see if anyone would be interested in doing a pen cleaning and pen using demo together. I have some pens with some dried ink that have been out of commission. I'm excited about making these write again.

Farmboy,

 

When can you load up the truck and make a road trip to West Sac?

We have gone over this before. It is much farther for you to drive from Sacramento to Millbrae than it is for me to drive from Millbrae to Sacramento. The problem is the 17 hours it takes to load the pens into the truck. I'll work on it.

      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
