Hello! If you see this in a couple of threads I am simply trying to get the interest out there and see if we can revive (if dead) a Colorado Pen meet-up group!

 

I've recently moved back into fountain pens (and more writing in general; notes in meetings/conferences/etc.) and would love to meet face-to-face with other like-minded folks to talk paper types and sources, inks, pens, and the rest!

 

I live in downtown Denver and am happy to travel along the front range for a good meet-up! Is the Colorado group still active? If not, we should revive it!

 

I own a lot of fancy camera gear too (including macro lens)! :) :D

 

Regards,

Mike

  • October 10-11, 2015 - Colorado Pen Show - DoubleTree Stapleton North Hotel, 4040 Quebec
  • November - date TBD - Still Cellars - 1115 Colorado Ave, Longmont, CO

We post meeting info here.

 

Send an email to PenPosse@ColoradoPenShow.com to get on the mailing list.

The more I know about computers, the more I like my pens.

[Knock knock]

 

Hello? is anyone out there?

 

Is this group still a going concern? Is anyone still interested? Judging by the turnout at the recent Colorado Pen Show there is interest in pens (and even pencils), ink, paper and other topics related to writing by hand and the tools with which to do it. I don't find anything recent (2016) here but that's not always an indication of interest.

 

Would anyone like to meet for coffee and a bagel and talk pens?

multigeek627 - did you send an email to mailto:PenPosse@ColoradoPenShow.com ? We met twice in September (well, one was the Pelikan Hub) and also at the show (informally after hours). We will have another meeting coming up in November. Then we'll start again in March/April, June, September, October, and November in 2017.

 

I don't always get a chance to post a note here - so the best thing is to get on the mailing list.

The more I know about computers, the more I like my pens.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
