  • At some point when I was a teenager, I bought a super cheap calligraphy pen kit at some hobby store. It was incredibly flimsy, the pen cracked within like a month, but I thought it was super coot to be writing with a fancy-shmancy fountain pen (and a stub nib no less!). But that was kinda it for a while once I burned through the three ink cartridges it came with.

    Then, maybe a year later, I stumbled upon Baystate Blue and was like OMG LOOK HOW BLUE THAT IS and had to buy it and a real fountain pen to experiment with it.

    Many things were stained in the process. I have no regrets.
