The new meeting location is in central Austin in the Hyde Park neighborhood For reference it is about 1.5 miles from the Paper Place on N. Lamar. There is a parking lot located at the corner of Speedway and 40th Street across the street from the church. To enter, walk through the unlocked gate, then the walkway goes directly to the door. The doors must remain locked; there will be a doorbell to ring.
 

2025 Dues Reminder:
Starting in January we will be requesting that people become members of the club through a $20 due for the year. Historically, the club’s financial support has been from donations of a few members (thank you!). As we grow we hope that these yearly dues will allow us to support the club in an affordable and sustainable way. We welcome everyone to meetings! Please continue to invite your friends even if they are unsure about becoming members. Dues can be paid via PayPal, Venmo, or with cash at the meeting

      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
