Pen Posse SF Pen Show Re-Cap Edition
We will have a Pen Posse to go over the SF Pen Show. Lots to discuss about things that worked and things that didn't. It might also be the return of Ethernautrix. Yay!
We'll meet the the normal time and place for this one since we may need the room and Ether might want a Monte Cristo.

I will forward comments in advance of your gathering. I can't handle another drive like that next weekend, but I'll be thinking about all of you.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! (That was my auto-correct suggestion when I typed "yay," hahaha, and it's perfect! )
Can't wait to see you guys and hear all about the pen show! Congratulations to the SF Pen Show team!
P.S. I don't see the "thanks" button on mobile (not using tapatalk), otherwise I'd have used it. Yay!
Re: Pen Posse SF Pen Show Re-Cap Edition
To do thanks, first highlight, then a thumbs up appears on the top bar...
Cheers

Clearly they had a higher and more comprehensive conception of the duties of society toward it's members than had the lawgivers of Europe of the time, and they imposed obligations upon it that were shirked elsewhere... But it is the provisions for public education which, from the very first, throw into the clearest relief the originality of American civilization.

Thanks, Mike! I'm on my laptop now ("working"), but I'll check it out on my phone later.

P.S. PEN POSSE!
So excited! Pen Posse AND a nice, long bike ride on my fabulous Bike D. (short for Bike DeStefano, named in honor and memory of comedian Mike DeStefano). I've been riding a heavy Trek Navigator for about eight months, and it's great for getting around Wroclaw and for shopping and navigating the cobble stones, but I know Trek Madone 3.1. Trek Madone 3.1 is a friend of mine. You, Trek Navigator, are no Trek Madone 3.1.
Wheeeeee! So excited!

Just sharing a few photos I took yesterday. It was a a lot of fun and quite a lot of people!

Beautiful collection of fountain pens. That MB 1912 is trying to get me in trouble even more from last Sunday.

These are wonderful photos! Thank you for sharing them. That was one of the busiest Pen Posses ever - LOVED IT!

I'm just glad Franz had a second roll of color film to load into the phone after the first ran out. I was worried that they would all look like that drab group photo...

Re: Pen Posse SF Pen Show Re-Cap Edition
I was wondering when someone would notice that shot...
Re: Pen Posse SF Pen Show Re-Cap Edition
You are absolutely correct! Thanks for letting me know.

Yeah, before the roll change, that desk set base would've come out looking like a silver one.
