Did you hear what the Waterman said to the Parker about the Omas?

Maybe someone will have the 90th anniversary MB (and ink) to show.

There's lots of in-group jokes that I just don't know...

..however if someone wishes to bring the new 90th anniversary MB they should feel that part of the group would enjoy seeing and hearing about your new pen. In general it's a positive and friendly vibe.

I will have one about a week from now. Didn't feel like paying $200+ more to buy in-person, so placed an order with a good online retailer. It's a great pen - handled one just two days ago.

Another awesome gathering. There were so many more cool pens that I've had to add my "need to investigate further list". Ricky, it still stuns me as you pull out so many different styles and makes of pens from different pockets. [I shake my head in amazement].


Things I/we learned:
- The Nakaya decapod is surprisingly comfortable to hold and write with
- Pilot used to make a vanishing point model with faceted sides and a smaller diameter
- The Pilot custom with FA nib is lots of win and worth investigating!
- OMAS has made ridiculously large diameter pens e.g. the (extra extra extra) early-oughts Paragon - good grief.
- Campus paper is really good
- Montblanc Leonardo and Montblanc Alfred Hitchcock inks are both really nice looking, yet different, red inks
- You can never actually delete your information off of "social-media" sites like twitter, linkedin, google, and facebook - Remember kids, if you aren't paying for the service, you are the product being sold. :)
- The Apple pancake feeds a family for at least a week
- Farmboy has fantastic stories about nearly every (maybe all) pen makers :)

Thanks all for a fun posse gathering

Maybe I'll get to it tonight. I've been getting home too late this week.
