Greetings fellow IAP members,
Since we didn't have a BASH in February and haven't had a Summer Extravaganza for a couple of years, about 2 weeks ago I initiated an impromptu PITH request and paired up with Mark (floatslow). [Link to Original Post]. It was fun getting to know another IAP member better. Not only did Mark make and send me a wonderful fountain pen he also packed a bunch of really cool blanks and other goodies in the package. -- Thank You Mark! The fountain pen was made from one of Tim McKenzie's Diamond Cast blanks, called Nebula - and it has a pocket clip! Pictures follow.
I hope this helps encourage other members to reach out to have some PITH's of their own. If you are interested in doing a PITH with someone, just make a post in this forum "PITH (Pen In The Hat - Pen Swaps" to set one up. With as many active and talented members in the IAP community I'm sure you can make it happen. I highly recommend giving it a try.
Best Regards,
Dave
PS For members that haven't experienced one yet, PITH stands for Pen In The Hat, which is a pen swap between a couple of members. And the BASH is an online IAP anniversary party with contests, puzzles, and such along with a lottery based PITH pairing.
