SF Bay Area Stationery Meetup - Pen Show Hauls!

Hi Stationery Friends! Another pen show in the books and now that we've rested up it's time to show off our treasures! Bring your show exclusive pens, your brand new rainbow of inks, the washi tape you'll only use up if you give away a few loops, all your planned and impulse purchases. Missed the show? On a no-buy? Bring something that's currently bringing you pen or planner or notebook peace, beloved purchases from shows past, anything you're really itching to show off or talk about. Whether or not you can make it this month, [join us on Discord](https://discord.gg/TG8pK5BTkT) to talk stationery, learn about future meetups, and vote on themes. Rickshaw recommends the nearby Coffee Shop, Piccino Cafe, La Stazione, and Neighbor Bakehouse for coffee & pastries. Street parking is available but pay close attention to the restrictions - they're different on basically every street surrounding Rickshaw. The 48 & 55 buses drop off just about at Rickshaw's door, the Caltrain 22nd Street Stop is a short walk away, and so is the 23rd Street Stop of Muni's T Line.

The Collected Regrets of Clover

September's selection is*[The Collected Regrets of Clover](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61214136-the-collected-regrets-of-clover?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_14).* It explores some pretty big questions about life, regret and what it really means to make the most of the time we have. It follows Clover, a death doula who spends her life helping others but has a hard time truly living herself. It's thoughtful, funny and ultimately hopeful, and I thought it would make for a great discussion.

Drink and Draw: [Insert theme/prompt here]

Just some convivial folks hanging out at a neighborhood pub with their skechbooks. You don't have to be an "artist," or whatever that means, to be here. Bringing art supplies is a great idea though! Hydration is encouraged! The Flying Pig sells soft drinks and other n/a options as well as beer and cider. 
We come up with a theme or prompt for each week. You're free to use it or ignore it. It's about inspiring to stray from the norm. Speaking of which, this week's theme/prompt is [TBA]
