Back from the pen posse. There was more inky goodness as well as great discussion of important matters.
To start things off, this is a plate of Singapore Rice Noodles.

This Pen Posse was held for Alexandra, a member who is currently doing an internship down in SoCal. She was back for the weekend so what better way celebrate than to have a Pen Posse.
While Alexandra was away, she had an interesting thing happen. Before she left for SoCal, she had bought a number of new Lamy Safaris. She inked one up with BSB and in less than one week, the feed disintegrated and the nib fell out. I asked her to save the pen so we can examine the remains. This is what we found.

This pen was brand new and inked for the very first time. We noted that the failure in the feed was where the nib grips the feed.
There was more inky goodness
