Breaking news for typists in the Cleveland, Ohio area:
"
California Typewriter" opens
this Friday, September 22, at the
Cedar Lee Theater at 2163 Lee Road in Cleveland Heights.
After the
7:15 show, I'll be there to take questions along with Clevelanders
Will and Dave Davis. Will is the creator of
an amazing set of typewriter websites that has been very influential in opening people's eyes to modern portables and other machines. He and his brother Dave are the authors of the blog
Davis Typewriter Works, and Will recently started the blog
On the Margin, about rebuilt typewriters.
I'll have signed copies of my book,
The Typewriter Revolution, available at a good price.
I'm also bringing this Smith-Corona Silent-Super from my own collection. The theater is sponsoring a
free sweepstakes with this machine as the prize. It will come with a typed, signed copy of The Typewriter Manifesto, and it has a very unusual Yes/No type slug.
Enter the sweepstakes here by September 28. You will need to pick up the typewriter in Cleveland, of course.
And I'll be in Chicago the following weekend — more details on that event as they become available.

I've just been authorized to post the following list of theater locations for the film "California Typewriter." In case you don't know, this brilliant documentary centers on a Berkeley typewriter shop and involves artists, collectors, poets, writers, and others who love typewriters today. My Typewriter Manifesto is featured in the film (see above) and I play a modest role. Some type-ins or other events may take place in association with some of these showings. Support 21st-century typewriting and see this film in a theater if you can!
