Hello all
A few months ago I bought a fountain pen, a Cross Century II. Cue the inevitable forum-searching and overhwelming wealth of information which only the internet can provide; which nib? where is X pen now made? what kind of ink is best for which nib-type? How does X perform on Y paper? Ah, the inevitable downgrading of the better-known marques as production is increased. But I happened upon this company http://nakaya.org/en/gallery.aspx?body=Briar and I thought some of our members might be interested. They certainly seem to be the business and their prices equate to a run-of-the-mill Mont Blanc.
Also, if you haven't checked out the British series Broadchurch, I strongly suggest you watch Season 1. Truly powerful.
Lastly, I have managed to track down some long-lost Trilok Gurtu albums. Am currently listening to The Glimpse. Good stuff!
Please feel free to add your own lesser-known cultural gems to this thread. I look forward to reading about them.
