honestly, finding out that i'm not "chosen" to join a #pelikanhub is really disappointing and really sours the whole brand for me. like, I get that they have only so much budget to send inks or gifts out to people, and that's an amazing thing they do, but it also kinda takes way the "enjoy fountain pens" meaning and makes it more of a corporate thing.
I went to the chicago hub last year and had a LOT of fun. i really would like to do that again this year. Apparently no.
