Hi everyone, I'm sad to report that Philip Akin has written to say that Scriptus 2020 The Toronto Pen Show has been cancelled. However, the date for 2021 has been confirmed - Hallowe'en Sunday Oct.31st. It's a great shame, but the right thing to do.

 

See you all in 2021. Cheryl (The Pen Lady) and Bryan, the Guy with the great pen storage boxes.

 

:( :( :(

Have they considered hosting a scaled down version using videoconference? There is this nice pen show coming out of Rome using Zoom software...

Just testing the water here everyone in the GTA, would there be any interest, once we're allowed to gather in groups of more than 5, in a small private pen and storage box sale at my house? I'm in Oshawa BTW

Maybe?

 

In my case it would depend on timing -- work takes me out of the city for weeks at a time, and if the Covid restrictions are lifted, I may have to leave the city. Of course, these days nothing is certain.

That's too bad, even though I totally understand why it was postponed. I was looking really forward to Scriptus as I figured I would be able to make it in this year. See you all in 2021, I guess... I'll be the one dressed up like the guy who spent too much on fountain pens and needs to explain it to his wife.

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

      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
