OK everyone... for my fellow GEEKS ...


I have bookmarks and want to send them out to ALL who want them.

YES... World Wide !!! ~ I don't care where you are I will send to you. Do me a favor though, if you are outside the USA please send me your address in the format your country uses. :)

So heres the catch. I can send 6 bookmarks per envelope to max out the 1oz max on a stamp. Once you get your bookmarks you can keep 1... or 2 but I would like you to continue this PIF by sending the others out to your PenPals during October to get them ready for Fountain Pen Day as well.

So either PM me or email me Cary@FountainPenDay.org and let me know your a GEEK and want some bookmarks.

PIF and get your PenPals excited !

Thanks for the replies... like i said I want to send out as many to my GEEKS here as i can... you all get first dibs ;)




GRrrrrrrrr.... I just now realized that the US postal service is closed tomorrow :mad2:

OK... so keep the requests coming and all will go out first thing Tuesday so everyone in the US will have theres by the weekend for your letter writing. The rest of the world will probably receive next week on the early side.

I am so having fun. I gave away all my Swag and with it a fountain pen. Just a Sheaffer that takes intl cartridges but people who got one were worried they would lose and expensive pen. How people can carry gel pens in an expensive bag or pencil case/wallet/Filofax and worry they would lose a pen. They are jently reminded by me they carry a Filofax and BB or IPhone daily and don't lose it. Same thing for a quality pen.

I hope everyone is getting the swag out there and like me inducting newbies to fountain pens by inking one up with cartridges and handing them one. I always say if you need cartridges no problem I will get them for you and they are no more expensive than gel writers in the long run.

Probably too late to get these to Poland. When I was in California -Pen Posse - I picked up a couple of letters and pins to take to the Fountain Pen Day meeting in Warsaw. The pins are cool!

Are you going to attend this meeting

Fountain Pen Day in Poland:
Location:
Office Geberit

Tak. (<--Polish. Hahaha. Means "yes.") Probably should have grabbed more than two pins to hand out as the meeting sounds like it will be well-attended. (I grabbed a third which I pinned to a shoulder bag I use.)

Because of the time zone and how complicated the Polish language is, we will be meeting on the 8th. (My theory only.)

Hello everyone, I am the first second generation bookmark receiver. (earthdown -> caribbean_skye -> me)

Checking the clock on the fountainpenday.org page, there are only 10 days left but if you think there is enough time, I would be more than happy to help distribute them. My address can be found here: InCo-Pen-Pals:Post 17349 (http://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread.php/1824-InCo-Pen-Pals?p=17349&viewfull=1#post17349).

Sorry I didn't search for this thread sooner.
