Greets.... if you're, er, "jonesing" for a typewriter while in Philadelphia ... give a call to Trophy Bikes (215.222.2020) and ask for Mike Mccget.... you could borrow one of ours and do some typing at the Starbucks up the street!
Last time, I packed my Lettera 32 in my backpack, which worked great. But I was taking a train and was gone for 4 days. This time, I'm basically gonna be there for just one full business day and I'm trying to pack as light as possible.
Mike, I wish I would have known this back in October when I was there last. I had a couple hours to burn before catching the train back west. I'll be up in Radnor this time, but if I have some time during business hours, I'll give you a call. Thanks!
Its looking doubtful, unfortunately. I'll be in meetings all day tomorrow and then dinner with some business-types. Thursday, I am going back downtown, but to the airport. I have one more meeting to wrap this visit up and then am sharing a cab...
BTW -- have a couple of ITAM letters to go out and am running into an interesting obstacle -- it's hard to find mailing addresses on most of the typosphere blogs I visit--including this one...
Perhaps I am just unobservant--but here's a call to put addresses somewhere up top on blogs where even I can find them! ==mcget
What, not even a Skyriter?

Wow! That's a great idea from Mike - I hope you get a chance to take him up on it and tell us all about the typewriter-loaner program!

ReplyDeleteQuite the missed opportunity!

McGet, I have just dropped a letter in the mail, so my address is on its way:)
