Favorite moment was when Herb, Carmen and Ken (the owners) talked about the resurgence of typewriter enthusiasts coming to the shop, and how great it was to see the shop full of people. Doug's typewriter documentary captured that moment I believe, and so hopefully everyone can share it. Saving typewriter shops is hands down my favorite thing about the whole movement. That's it. It's a privilege to do anything to help these shops stay in business. Long may they wave. As a totally vain postscript, that is a terrible picture of me. :-)Strikethruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797111328778577303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-83845442428532586592013-12-28T20:58:39.009-05:002013-12-28T20:58:39.009-05:00Nice to see Cheryl again, it's been a long tim...Nice to see Cheryl again, it's been a long time.<br />I really would have loved to have attended that type-in!notagainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915679111849352765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-87155679625643602732013-12-28T16:25:25.092-05:002013-12-28T16:25:25.092-05:00added a link to this awesome report at http://type...added a link to this awesome report at http://type-in.org/ :DTedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-37050305545550366482013-12-28T15:54:34.287-05:002013-12-28T15:54:34.287-05:00This looks like tremendous fun.

The structure of the event couldn't have been better. Thanks for getting this to happen, and of course a big dose of appreciation to those kind folks of California Typewriter. And thanks for that photo of the workbench - I was happy to see that, other than the infinite collection of tools, etc., it resembles mine, in that there is barely room for the typewriter!TonysVisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035849049327300498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-80995455013854417942013-12-28T09:32:47.807-05:002013-12-28T09:32:47.807-05:00I am SO JEALOUS!
