Lots of great vendors with a wonderful variety of pens and ink and stationery, but it was uncomfortably crowded right from the start. Every aisle is jammed. By noon there was a lineup out on the street. I wish they&#39;d expand to two days.<br/><br/>#FountainPens #Scriptus 2026-10-25T20:46:01Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9ec0mf6geu73tdp62y9rpj97z5gs35yj37nf8entutvua56lpwlgzyrsm8lrcrrxjug93d3rnksnts77evz4y4v55al2vad9rf54kvszgv42umlu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfs0kg483t7hgf2sf8j5uz7lc2c5kzc8q7fezhlf38r8xtjjsm7yq0c867r'>nevent1q…867r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I recommend going to the National Gallery (&#34;The Taking of Christ&#34; by Caravaggio is outstanding) then going across the street to the Lincoln&#39;s Inn. Also recommended: walking along the canal; the Chester Beatty Library; and Francis Bacon&#39;s studio in the Hugh Lane Gallery on the north side of the Liffey. 2026-10-22T22:07:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxyrf489c9khrf9kd0au7lryyl4njer6jm8ejsl3gphrv4f4l6mgczyrsm8lrcrrxjug93d3rnksnts77evz4y4v55al2vad9rf54kvszgvfghvvv RE: <a href="https://glammr.us/@overholt/117190261592433831">https://glammr.us/@overholt/117190261592433831</a><br/><br/>This deserves a #FountainPen tag.

I use the web client, which works very well, though I don&#39;t like how the play queue is handled. Weekly suggestions are poor. Fewer playlists and I miss Tidal&#39;s quick response to news, but some are very good. I can *see* genres but not click on them to browse. However, I concentrate on albums, they have them, and it sounds very good. Haven&#39;t downloaded yet. I&#39;m happy. But I still miss Rdio! 2025-05-23T23:31:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9sp9k4d4d99w3z6u3j0ghrxpzs8204ku5rn9z8dryaxz3kwdaq2czyrsm8lrcrrxjug93d3rnksnts77evz4y4v55al2vad9rf54kvszgvxgwgd2 Spreading the word about the International Indigenous Librarians&#39; Forum, which happens every two years and this year is in Toronto, 17–20 June (one day out in Scarborough, then the rest downtown).
