I will be in Toronto Aug 16-19th... Any chance of moving to throw dates? I'd love to meet with everyone and talk. It'll be my first time in Canada.

 

 

I doubt we would change the date, but adding an extra date? FOR SURE! I'd definitely be into a mid month meeting. The DC show contingent can show off all our purchases. :D

 

 

We are currently discussing... I'll post back once we are in agreement.

If we move it to the evening of 19th does that work or is your flight out on the 19th?

OK, so that really throws our plans out of the window. We are a decent size group (15-20 average).. and we all have day jobs, weekdays are not the best and is easier (for us) to change the date to the following Friday than to set up a meet on a weekday.

 

 

We'll keep the August 12 Meet time. I'll see if I can round up some folks for a mini meet on August 18. No promises, several of our regulars have already said they can't make it.

My hotel is in Mississauga...decided to stay a little ways from the city to get a better rate. But I plan on spending my trip in and around Toronto to try different restaurants and to see some of what the city has to offer.

Okay, LionHeartLee and I are meeting on the 18th for dinner. I'm going to pick a spot, but I was wondering if anyone else will join us. If not, I'll pick a spot in the West end. If someone else is coming, I'll pick somewhere on the Yonge line.

 

Let me know!

Are we on for Friday? Union at St Clair and Yonge? I'm looking forward to it!

 

I have a bunch of pens to sell ... is it okay to list them here and see if any attendees might be interested? All good stuff, practically new and reasonably priced.

 

Saskia - have you picked a spot for the 18th?

I am so upset with myself: I missed both July and August meetings. Arrrggghhh! I specifically wanted to know about Pelikan Hubs and if anyone knew anything about that? It is not until September but obviously I am deranged when it comes to scheduling events!

Hey Kim. I'm the hub master for Toronto and will be sending out an email with details this weekend. You're on my list so you're good to go. If you have specific questions feel free to reply back.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
