“I type because...” winner

There were several delightful entries in the contest to win tickets to “California Typewriter.” There are at least as many good reasons to type as there are typists! Including ...

Napoleon Solo:


Larry Pressnell:


Kevin Kittle:


Abby Hogan:



Ping Amranand:



Jael Perales:


David Brechbiel:

And our winner is:

Lavette Johnson! (@Diamondgirlarcher)

Congratulations, Lavette!

Of course, everyone is invited to attend the premieres if you can (at the Metrograph in New York City, 7 Ludlow St., August 18, and the Arena Cinema in Los Angeles, 6464 Sunset Blvd., August 25).

I also invite you to post more reasons for turning to a typewriter — your own #itypebecause!
