June 2010 meeting details

Well, we've decided to go with monthly meetings during the summer months, so here are the details re: the upcoming June meeting:

Date: Thursday June 17, 2010

Time 6:00pm-6:30pm ("meet & greet"); 6:30pm-8:30pm (approx.) meeting

Location: The usual place---Perks pen store at 5844 Cambie Street (@ 42nd Ave.) in Vancouver, across from Oakridge Mall (one block from the "Oakridge-41st Ave" Skytrain stop)

The theme for this meeting will be FOUNTAIN PEN FILLING SYSTEMS (suggested by VPC member Bruce R---thanks for the idea, Bruce!). Please bring examples of fountain pens with various filling systems/mechanisms---eg. cartridge/converter-fillers, piston-fillers, lever-fillers, button-fillers, eyedropper-fillers, aerometric-fillers, Snorkel-fillers, Touchdown-fillers, Vacumatics ..the list goes on and on!

Our secondary theme is always NEWEST ACQUISITIONS so if you have any new pen-related items (pens, inks, paper, accessories) you'd like to show, bring them to the meeting.

Thanks in advance and hope to see you on the 17th!

Frontier PC sells fountain pens?

Who knew? They don't seem to have a whole lot - a few sub-$100 Parkers, Pilots (including the now-discontinued Knight at ~$55), and Crosses, as well as a few inks, mostly cartridges - but they do have stuff in-stock at their local warehouses. I stumbled across it while searching for ink.

Anyway, I searched for "fountain" here: http://www.frontierpc.com/
