Since Monday was a holiday here in the US, I had time to record 4 video recaps of my SF Pen Show experience. I'm publishing them every this week 😀
SF Pen Show 2025 Recap - Part 1 is up today, and I'll show off my new pens in Part 2 & Part 3, and my new inks in Part 4.
Saturday at the SF Pen Show has been an absolute delight, but in future I'll try to come on Friday.. very, very crowded today. The easiest times were at classes I booked, because the setting was a small friendly group rather than a heaving ballroom. Unambiguously however: an absolute DELIGHT 📜🧵

The combo of Preppy Wa and Kiwi Inks (water resistant) Legally Binding Blue is all that I could hope for. Very smooth. I rubbed part of it with water, still easy to read.
Haul from the San Francisco pen show yesterday. Local introvert is tired, it was crowded, one of the organizers was surprised. I visited the grail pen that I did not buy (yet). I failed to buy stickers.
Numerous tables had notes reminding visitors about de minimis and tariff changes (and one vendor had a very long explanation of yen/dollar exchange wrt credit cards).
Book clubs, bar crawls, fountain pen videos on YouTube, and the biggest women’s pro sports crowd in U.S. history—August has been packed. Here’s my latest Odds and Ends recap: https://www.jnassi.com/odds-and-ends-august-2025-edition/

While our weather in the San Francisco Bay Area this summer has been delightfully mild, the month of August has felt surprisingly busy! The weekends filled up more than usual, which didn't leave me a whole lot of writing opportunities this month. I do have more than enough to fill
