Hello All!

Just wanted to drop a line in here and say hello and to intro myself a bit.

I'm 28 yr. old male and live near St. Louis, MO. I've always been a lover of pens and paper, and have recently found this whole culture that lives and breathes here on the net! I have to say I'm really absorbing it all, and am enjoying it thoroughly.

One thing I'm having trouble with is finding a local pen hub. I have the obligatory Office supply stores; Office Max and Depot, as well as some very small art supply stores. I must say that this online store and some of the "local" blogs have really shown me the path to pen zen. I would really love some feedback if anyone is willing to divulge their secret hangouts and the like for fellow penthusiasts.

Thanks all and a hardy hello to you!

DJ

Welcome to the craziness that is pen/pencil addiction!

If by pen hub you mean a physical place to hang, then i can't help! If you mean a cyber place to hang, then you have found it here on the Jetpens forum. If you want other Internet places to shop then do as I do: Do an on-line search for a particular item(s) and bookmark the better results. eBay has quite a few vendors who sell pens as well as mechanical/drafting pencils.

Hope that this helps! 8)
