BRETT KAVANAUGH: "Can you explain exactly how the consent would work?" Just saying... if *I* were Brett Kavanaugh, *I* WOULDN'T ASK A QUESTION SHOWING THAT I WAS CONFUSED HOW CONSENT WORKS! But maybe that's just me.

It’s the first day of the Colorado Pen show and I’m v excite. If you’re in the Denver area and interested in fountain pens, drop on by — the pay-it-forward table alone will set you up with so much ink.

NEW: A source familiar with the Colorado Chamber of Commerce Gov forum says the candidates were provided with moderator Ed Sealover’s questions, word for word, in advance. GOP candidate Victor Marx is reading prepared answers, word for word, from a notebook on his lap.

Mine died in July and I thought a 7k estimate from Applewood was exorbitant! Got a little mom-and-pop in Arvada to replace it instead.

It’s nuts, there’s no rhyme or reason folks have figured out for how they decided anything. Random cities, telling folks no. There’s speculation on the PA Slack that some decided to use an LLM to assign things and given what we’re seeing it would make sense.

Oh yeah we have a lot of them in the Denver area, it’s a great way to swap samples! But it’s easier for new folks to find out that they even exist if there’s a big name involved, you know? Gets the word out. A Hub was my first exposure to my local fountain pen community.

And lastly a comparison to a few other pink Wearingeuls. None of these pics are showing shimmer but the Atlas-exclusive Twelfth Night has the same pearl-blue shimmer look. Just a much paler, cooler pink. Carmilla isn’t far off, really. But not shade as dark as Chang’e.

Six Wearingeul pinks on Col-o-Ring cards. Top row: Daddy-Long-Legs, Twelfth Night (Atlas exclusive), Juliet.
Bottom row: Carmilla, Chang’e (Soe & Soe exclusive), The Flowers on the Way. (terrible swatch of that last one, yikes. )
