Possible change of plans for me Friday....I may have to miss the event. I am traveling in ON and now SK this week. I get back late on the 17th so may not be at our pen meet. Sorry but the trip to Regina was a last minute one that came up.

Hi everyone, I'd really love to come this Friday! Scriptus was my first "in person" interaction with people from the fountain pen world, and I'd love to hang out with more people in the pen community!

[saskia_madding]

I'll be there, Claudia. And Gerald, I'm hoping to take a look at that XXB Duofold nib you've been teasingly posting all over instagram!

[raging.dragon]

I'll probably be there.

[Cyber6]

Reservation has been made.. I'll see you guys on Friday!!..

We are setting up for the next meet up on December 9th for anyone who does not have the meeting in their daytimer or smartphone scheduler as yet.

 

We should have a theme...Christmas, Holidays, maybe we should all bring Christmas Cards we could write to parents with children in for long treatments at Sick Kids, or do the cards up for some other good group of individuals who does not get a Christmas card. Any other ideas/themes?

 

Sometime soon it would be fun to do daytimer, or planner meet ups which one we use and why, who is a bullet journal user versus those who are the off the shelf filofax, hobonochi crowds.

 

As always bring some pens, some ink, a bit of paper and have a cold drink or hot one and plan to relax.

 

See you all hopefully at the Dec 9th meet up.

Cyber6 will you be posting a Dec update here in the near future ?

DECEMBER MEET DATE: FRIDAY DECEMBER 9, 2016

HAPPY HOLIDAYS Pens&Pints Version !!!

LOCATION: MIDTOWN GASTRO HUB @Yonge-St. Clair -- http://www.midtowngastrohub.com/

TIME: 6PM - 9PM

HOLIDAY SECRET SANTA - Pens&Pints N-INK-JA STYLE !!! (starts at 7PM)

Rules:

Bring a wrapped bottle of INK. All participants will place the wrapped ink on the “Secret Santa P&P nINKja reserved pool location”.

Each person selects a number from a basket or bowl to determine the order in which a person gets to select a gift. Number 1 goes first and gets to select and unwrap a gift. Everyone oohs and aahs or mentally thinks, “Boy, I’m glad I didn’t select that.”

Number 2 then selects. But she may take Number 1’s gift or she may select a gift from the pile. If she takes Number 1’s gift, Number 1 gets to select again from the pile. After she has finished her turn, Number 3 gets to select.

Once again, she may select any opened or unopened gift. Each time a gift is taken away from someone, that person gets to select again. She may select any gift except the one that was just taken away from her. She may however, have the opportunity to select it again later.

Some gifts are occasionally more popular and may get stolen several times. The fourth person to possess it gets to keep it. No more swiping the gift. The gift is frozen.
At the end of the game, Number 1 gets to select again, and take someone else’s gift if she wants to, but she doesn’t have to. She is actually forcing a trade. The only gifts she can’t take are those that are frozen.

Don’t be afraid to swipe a gift from someone. The more takeaways and turnovers there are, the more fun the game seems to be. Some of the best times have been when a particular gift gets swiped several times. There are always lots of laughs and sometimes gifts get swiped just for the fun of it. This is especially true when men are playing. They don’t seem to care about the gifts as much as having fun stirring things up.

And after the game is over, if you and someone else wants to trade gifts, that’s O.K. too.
