We were in the middle of a recording session when we heard of Brian Wilson's passing. He had a huge impact on both of us and on music in general. (Featuring my good friend Black Suit Devil)

Fredericton, New Brunswick: It's a great week if you like live music!

Sound ON for maximum hilarity.

Yes, I enjoy writing out Trailer Park Boys quotes with a fountain pen.

Welcome to the wormhole. The weather is fine!

It's my pleasure. It's the only form of content creation or social media consumption that soothes my brain these days and it makes me happy sharing with folks who are of a similar mind. It's a great pen, and doesn't break the bank at all. It's provided me with hours of joy and entertainment!

I'm getting more comfortable with the fude nib on this Hongdian 1861 Pro Fountain Pen. And I've finally nailed my ABCs...

Yeah, I get that. They probably should be.

Alright seriously... this M2 <fine> is neck-in-neck with my Faber-Castell E-motion as far as how well it writes. I'm dumbfounded.

I look forward to seeing how this thing ages. I'm a big fan.

They are bringing New Brunswick provincial NDP energy into this election...

Great to know. Seems like I chose well for a first Chinese pen!

Fantastic value at that price point.

I have their M2 Pocket pen arriving tomorrow in a fine. I also have far more expensive pens, but it's all about the overall writing experience for me, and this thing is inspiring to write with. First experience with Hongdian and I'm really impressed!

I understand why, if they are all of similar quality. HUGE bang for your buck.

New fountain pen day. I picked up a Hongdian 1861 Pro in brass with a fude nib because I was going for a vibe. For under $30 (converter included) I'm REALLY impressed!

Thank you 🤘💕

This is an evil sick joke. I was salivating until I realized what day it is 🤘✒️🤣

Absolutely.

100%. I'd be the first to admit that my analysis is far from thorough and profoundly unscientific. I'm just having fun with it ✒️😎

How many pages on one fill for the Faber-Castell E-motion fountain pen? I have an answer.

Thank you🤘🤣 I had that clip sitting on my phone and couldn't resist.

I haven't yet, but have only had it in the pen for about a month total. I have flushed it out once with water and there was no residual staining. I'll report back if that changes!

I could wait longer than a week to see if the TWSBI Mini AL Fountain Pen hard starts with Octopus Fluids Write and Draw ink but I don't wait to...

Thank you!

For those that are fans of the Harvest festival in Fredericton, can't wait to see you in September!

The opportunities are endless.

AirBnB it: Spend a night in the control room!

Righteous and wrong go hand in hand now more than ever.
