    This looks like a wonderful success!

    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.

    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!

    You guys may have just concentrated the most typewriter repairmen that have been gathered together in one place since sometime last century :D

      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.

    Great post! I laughed hard at the mention of our insulting each other part

      The Type-In was at Theater 80 on St. Marks Place in the East Village section of Greenwich Village.

      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.

    Thanks for your comments everyone. I'm sure Mike and maybe Matt will post pictures and stories too.

    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.
