You may not know this about me, but I’m a sucker for a dope pen; specifically, fountain pens. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t fuck with those expensive ass pens… yet. And at this point, I may never fux with them. I’ve been in an on-again off-again relationship with fountain pens for decades at this point.
I’ve never been to any of them so I can’t really recommend one. Anyway, who knows, maybe you’ll catch me out at one of these pen shows next year.
