Recommended Posts

The second Thursday of October is next week, so the Big Apple Pen Club will be meeting!

specifics: Thursday, October 13, 7-9 PM, at Bard Hall, just west of Columbus Circle in Manhattan, directions below.

Friends,


If you live or work in or around New York City, or will be traveling here, or want an excuse to travel here, please do join us! The crowd is eclectic in every way one could imagine, except for our shared love of fountain pens. Bring your pens -- whether to show off (we do a lot of that...), sell, ask about repair needs --and your inks or paper if you have something we might have not seen. Feel free to bring any kind of food or drink in with you. There's no need to RSVP.


This time we'll share our meeting with a guest presenter!: Musician and author Michael Kovacs will be giving a seminar on the Art of Personal Letter Writing as well as how to make your own stationery! All you need to bring is a bottle of ink that you liked at one time, but never use anymore. All other materials will be provided for free! Michael has been doing this seminar across the country for the past five years at various pen shows including The DC Pen Supershow, Dallas, LA, Long Island, and Philadelphia. He has also been published in Pen World Magazine. Mike's presentation will start around 8, don't miss it!


If you have any questions, or want to join our email list, feel free to write to me at bapcemail@gmail.com , or PM to me here. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!



Tim


Directions:

Bard Hall, the residential building for Bard Graduate Center, is located at 410 West 58th Street in Manhattan, just west of 9th Avenue/Columbus Avenue. The best way to get there from almost anywhere in NYC is via subway -- take the 1/A/C/B/D trains to 59th Street/Columbus Circle (note: 2/3 trains do not stop at 59th, even though it is a major intersection). Depending on which subway exit stair you use, put Central Park behind you and walk around the southern (left) side of the Time Warner complex, which is 58th Street. Walk west on 58th (against traffic); 9th Avenue/Columbus is the next intersection west. Bard Hall is diagonally across the intersection and three addresses downhill on 58th at 410, immediately west of the small construction site. Please tell the guard you are there for the Pen Club -- you will be expected and directed to the proper room.

Attending but not adjusting nibs, as far as I know. See you tonight!

      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
