This blog is about the daily activities in a busy typewriter shop. I want to share with you the many interesting people who come in here, the beautiful machines I get and most of all the great typewriter stories that people share with me!

A Great Time At NYC Type-In
Out host Mike in the front right
One hundred and twenty-six years of typewriter experience.
Typing contest won by Matt "Flying Fingers" Cidoni.
I'm not surprised that Matt won the typing contest--he blew away everyone when he participated over Skype in a typing contest at my house a couple of years ago.
Thanks a million Ted! It was fun to meet older, more experienced repairmen. Gramercy Typewriter is a legendary repair shop in Manhattan. The owner Paul was telling us that Tom Hanks drops by when he's in town. Too Cool!
Very cool! I sense the energy, and the theater lobby venue has loads of character. I agree with Richard, no surprise that Matt won the speed typing contest. I remember his Typewriter Day video, unbelievable.
Very funny Rob! The other two guys don't type. I was there as a participant with my Remington Five but I know I wasn't good enough to compete in the speed typing contest.
Great story and great venue too. Small, cosy and typewritery. Little room for anything other than people and their typewriters, just the way it should be!
Ever used a USB Typewriter? manual typewriter with a conversion to connect via USB to your computer or sit the iPad in the carriage and type directly onto its screen.

added your report to the listing for the NY type-in, and added your flyer for the Greater Boston Spring Type-Out to the type-in.org page!
ReplyDeleteYou guys may have just concentrated the most typewriter repairmen that have been gathered together in one place since sometime last century :D

ReplyDeleteMan I really wanted to go! What neighborhood was it in?
ReplyDeleteThe Type-In was at Theater 80 on St. Marks Place in the East Village section of Greenwich Village.
