Tomorrow, breast cancer awareness organization Rally for the Cure is hosting a tennis benefit at the Columbia Tennis Center on 218th Street in New York; it’s $20 to play and free to watch. We’ve donated several pink planners, stationery sets, and some pink fountain pen ink that will be used as prizes, so good luck […]

Drumming with Glen Velez and Lori Cotler
If you live nearby, and you don’t have any plans this evening, you might consider checking out a free concert by percussionist Glen Velez and rhythmic vocalist Lori Cotler at the Public Library in Montclair, NJ. I’m not familiar with their work (though I have it on good authority that it’s terrific), but if this […]
Where to Go: Fenway on ice
It’s hot and muggy in New York, but August’s first “Where to Go” contest entrant, Janet, is already dreaming of next year’s NHL Winter Classic at Fenway Park. For the last few years, the National Hockey League has showcased a Winter Classic game. It’s how we ring in the new year; the game is on […]
Where to Go: Chappaquiddick Island
Ah, summer… Today’s “Where to Go” entry comes from Erin C., who describes an ideal day on Chappaquiddick Island (say that 10 times fast). I would love to go to East beach on Chappaquiddick Island. I would stop at the Japanese garden (My Toi) on the way, a very shady and rustic area. Then, taking […]

Which is pictured above and also, on a different notebook, at the NotebookEngraver website. We’ll be […]
Where to go: Sakatchewan, Myrtle Beach, Virginia
Thanks to John for our latest “Where to Go” entry… a rich and varied half-year of travel to Canada and within the U.S. Based out of North Carolina, we have had a fun travel year this year so far. I started with a trip to Lafleche, Saskatchewan at the end of January, where the high […]
Where to go: The North Sea Jazz festival
Our first international “Where to Go” entry! Thanks to Woodworker for writing in from the Netherlands… about Rotterdam’s North Sea Jazz festival. Every year I go with a friend to the North Sea Jazz festival in Rotterdam (The Netherlands). This year I also took my wife for the first time. The North Sea Jazz festival […]
Where to go: The Sunset Strip
Thanks to Erin of La Plume Etoile for our latest “Where to Go” entry… about the iconic Sunset Strip. One of my favorite places is the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, CA. It has a lot of history as a place where famous movie stars socialized and legendary bands performed. Many important events have happened there. […]
Where to go: Tejal’s attic room/sanctuary
June’s inaugural “Where to Go” entry comes from Tejal Kuray, who writes about her attic room (and blogs here about inks, paper, pens, and art supplies). These days I’m spending more and more time in my attic room. Originally a storage space, we completely redesigned it and added carpet, painted the walls, installed an AC, […]
May’s “Where to Go” contest winner
Thanks to May’s first (and only) “Where to Go” contest entrant, Bill Bradford, who wrote about Austin’s Lady Bird Lake and won himself a free Clairefontaine basics notebook. Keep those entries coming! Your odds are good, and we’re feeling generous.
