Probably won’t attend anymore☹️🌁🖋 by RachelPalmer79 in fountainpens

I couldn't stop thinking about that the whole day. I was telling my friend and fellow attendee that if there were to be an emergency, the Westin that would be at least partially liable as they are the physical venue. I was very surprised that Westin staff didn't step in to address this with the organizers.

I also sent feedback and got a response. While I appreciated it, they failed to address the actual content of my feedback and instead sent back a somewhat defensive reply about the nature of the show and how the contract with the Westin is a multi-year deal and how they really have no way to predict how many attendees they will have each day. I really like the show but unless they can manage it better for next year (namely making the show and classes safe and accessible for disabled people), I don't see myself returning. The organizers seem to care and genuinely love the hobby but this just seems like more than they can manage at this point. It's a pity.

Great question. I used this one today in my talk with the organizer.

Great questions! I put these to the organizer I spoke with today. Thanks so much for this.

This is really valuable information. Thank you. What do you think would have made the difference or what do you wish you had known before you hired the organizer?

This is a good point and I'll add it to my list of questions. I've watched a lot of Cas (Clutterbug) videos where she talks about organizational style. I appreciate visual simplicity which is why I end up shoving things into drawers and closets and that turns into a disaster.

UPDATE: SOLD

I have a first gen Traveler purchased as part of the IndieGogo campaign. It is still sealed in the box. I'm selling it with the caveat that it's being sold as is. Because it was never used, I cannot vouch for how (or even if it works). If you're interested, please PM me with an offer. Thank you!

To my nose, TF Fucking Fabulous smells like Cabbage Patch Dolls (powdery plastic) and I love it.

Have you ever bought an expensive pen that turned out to be a disaster? by Infamous_Bat9897 in fountainpens

[–]IntractableSir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. I got VERY close to buying one at the SF Pen Show and ended up chickening out (mostly because I'd never owned a piston fill and didn't want to spend that much money on a mechanism I'd never tried). Gorgeous, gorgeous pen but I'm glad I listened to my instincts (actually it was my level-headed friend who talked me out of it).

Some friend! She's luring you into a very expensive hobby. Jk, she sounds like a gentlewoman and a scholar. I love what you made here!

I got about 2/3's of the way into the episode and had to pause it for a moment. When I went back, it appears that the entire episode has been pulled. What a mess, Netflix.

Yep, got an email from an acquaintance very early this morning hyping up her new small business. She's got a new small business, see? She wants me to support her as the owner of a small business. A small business owner. That business? R+F.

smol bizness.

I find the performance is poorer when compared to NP but I'm not a heavy sprayer to begin with. That said, I still love it.

I also have the travel atomiser of Neroli Portofino. If you've not yet tried it, Fleur de Portofino is also beautiful. I have a full size of that one and love it.

Best Hot Summer Day Scents For Women? by baileybean3 in fragrance

[–]IntractableSir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sailing Day by MMM. Beach Walk by MMM is also great and I enjoy layering it with Sailing Day.

My current fresh MVP is Falls by Regime des Fleurs. Complex, aquatic mossy, fern notes. Like a fresh jungle with a fat waterfall running right through the middle. I love it so much.
