Pen show

17 Aug 2004

I read on Amanita.net that there was a fountain-pen show in the area last weekend. (All of a sudden the “Dog Show” sketch from Saturday Night Live pops into my head. Everyone, beat your little drum and yell, “Pen Show!” But I digress.) I love fountain pens. I’ve been meaning to acquire more of them; the only one I have right now is a Rotring, which I received as a birthday present a few years ago, along with a bottle of Parker Penman ink—a little web research tells me that this line has been discontinued, so perhaps I should use it sparingly—in the color mocha. Mmm, mocha.
