HalfcelestialelfHad good fun at the pelikan Hub last week. It went well despite being very small with only 3 of us signed up. But we had several members of the public come up to us and talk about pens and look at what we had which was nice.

π΅πΈHome from the #pelikanhub . What a wonderful weekend! Chicago was amazing! Atlas was amazing! Chicago Pelikan hub was amazing! My cats being mad at me for leaving them, not so amazing. They'll get over it though. They know how important my #FountainPens are.
K.R. ParadisWent to my first Pelikan Hub yesterday at Dromgooles. Such a great store. Everyone was super nice and I ran into a person I used to work with. Looking forward to more pen & stationery meet ups.
Back To AnalogWe had a great Pelikan hub here yesterday. More than 50 people came. Luckily for us, our hub master - Frank - is a very generous man. After seeing that Pelikan sent mostly Rose Quartz, he reached out to their distributor and got Apricot Achat for all of us. And he let people take Rose Quartz bottles, if they wanted them (they aren't selling). So to support him, I bought a very expensive ink $35 - Visconti Green.

Steveg58So last night was the local Pelikan Hub, which I attended along with @rdm and @leece. I got a couple of inks from the door prize, a bottle of Diamine 1864 Blue Black and 3/4 of a small bottle of Pilot Iroshizuku Momiji. I ended up with one of the Pelikan gift boxes that contained Mandarin rather than the current years Apricot Achat. The organisers offered to swap packages but I elected to keep the Mandarin as I didn't have it and it isn't too far different from the Apricot. I sloped off at 20:30 to take advantage of a break in the showers which meant I missed the group photo. I donated a bundle of cheap pens which were snaffled early in the door prize draw. I did track down the young man who grabbed them to explain that the Oliver pens were eyedropper pens ... just as well because he was puzzling over what ink cartridge might fit.

alexa-488Pelikan Hub! I had out of town plans, so I signed up for the city I was going to be in: Victoria BC.
It was much different from the enormous Seattle gatherings. We had a cozy gathering in a pub. Small enough we could get to know everyone's names. We passed samples and pens around, talked about ways to get into letter writing, and had a great time getting to know each other.
I won one of the raffle prizes: a pen from Golem Pens, a new maker who attended the Hub.
melzTonight was my first #PelikanHub since 2019. Even though I'm out of the hobby and no longer keeping up with the releases, it is always a pleasure to talk to pen friends. I think it was crazier that I just picked a random table that had an open seat and we started chatting on the same wavelength. I think that's what's special and fun about the pen community no matter where I'm at.
I'm mostly a one pen person these days, so I forgot how some folks would bring 20 inked #fountainpens for folks to try. I felt like the party pooper with my one pen lol
