We're back after a 1-week hiatus with a recap of the Pelikan Hubs meetup that Tom organized with Goldspot Pens. With Black Friday coming up, we discuss what makes a good Black Friday deal versus a bad one. I also compare the Leonardo Furore fountain pen versus the Esterbrook Estie. Rollerball Paul also makes a cameo!   If you'd like to shop for a new pen or try to get Tom fired, head over to our retail sponsor, Goldspot Pens at:https://goldspot.com/?aff=3Use promo code OINK to get an additional 10% off throughout the Goldspot Pens store. *Excludes Sailor, Retro 51, Montblanc, Visconti, Esterbrook, Edison Pen Co., Narwhal, and TWSBI products.* Also, be sure to put #firetom in the order comments and you might get a special Pentertainment Podcast sticker with your order.The new Partenope Alba from GIOIA, meaning sunrise, is sure to be the next bestseller from the beloved Naples-based pen maker. Swirls of dark purple, light blue, and turquoise mix with bright orange to create a beautiful scene of a sun rising over the gorgeous Gulf of Naples. Not only does this pen have a sweet Jowo writing nib, but it also has a section that converts the fountain to a ballpoint pen.
