Pittsburgh Club Meetings

Recommended Posts

So our next meeting of the Pittsburgh group is Wednesday February 17, at 7:00 PM at the Panera in Bakery Square! I hope to see you all there.

 

A secondary question - would I be better off just adding on to this topic as a chain for all future meetings? That way we can all just follow this topic and have a new meeting announcement each month on here?

Possibly (And I offer this as a thought...)

I think people tend to respond to new posts, and after a while ignore posts that have run several pages. They may not notice a new pen gathering announcement. Better to have a new post with a new date IMO.

 

With over 3.4 million posts, I don't think that one more "its that time again" post will add to the burden on the FPN server, even 12 times a year. ;)

Just a reminder that the meeting is tonight. Hey, it's not snowing, so why not?

Sez the guy who lived in Syracuse for a couple of decades..... :lol:

I've been popping sedated tablets as if they were Pez candies for the last few days, just to make it.... One new-to-me pen to show off and one thing that is, um, a little out of the ordinary, that I ran across in an antiques mall near Punxatawny a couple of weekends ago. I meant to get photos posted but life has been insane.

Over three, to be precise. And worked on top of the 2nd highest point in the county, and had to snowshoe into some transmitter sites in winter.

 

"Snow, ya call THIS snow?" :rolleyes:

Are there a lot of collectors in Pittsburgh? I used to go there quite a lot and only met one or two.

 

I'll be there in early May for the Fiberart International opening. Any chance there will be a meeting then?

I think that we had something like 10 or 11 last night - enough to pull 3 tables together. If we stick to the pattern of the 3rd Wednesday of the month, it'll be March 16th.

Damn. That means I'll miss next month for sure. :( I'll be down in (hopefully not freezing cold) Mississippi that week. Maybe making enough spare cash to pick some goodies up when I get home -- after last night's meeting, the potential shopping list has grown longer! :headsmack:

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
