Tori and Jeanette(?)
Gary Nicholson, Bill Wahl and Ryan Adney admire the eye candy
Well, I got a pic of the documentary director, with his back turned :D
Three more fellows whose names escape me, plus Marshall lurking in the background
Ryan tries out Ellery
Bill's a pretty laid-back fellow, and here he's even more laid back, searching for the perfect angle on Ryan's Blick 7
Just like being there! Well done you chaps – great pics.
looks like a great time was had by all. I love seeing the range of machines. Call me inattentive but could I get more info on the documentary?
It’s energizing to see these pics, many thanks for sharing them.
That Blick 7 is the bomb!
Thanks for letting us quasi-be there. This just confirms that the whole concept of PUBLIC typewriting is right on. No longer is it The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name!
What a fantastic gathering, thanks for reporting & the pictures! I would be interested to know the serial number of the grey late Hermes Baby.
I can’t help but look at these pictures, drool, and revise my typewriter want list. Looks like it was a terrific gathering of people and their machines.
Hey Monk,
Met you at Mesa typewriter. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to make it to the round-up. Really regretting it with all the pictures.
Are you doing Camp NaNo? I was wondering if anyone was going to organize any write-ins. Missing the forums.
Added your blog to the roll, Keep your ear to the ground for the next Round-up, should be even bigger than this last one (:
I dunno how much I’m going to participate in Nano this year. Still a lot of irons in the fire…
Recently, my daughter, a vintage lover, purchased a Hermes typewriter made in 1953. She is absolutely crazy in love with this machine. Is there additional history you can share? It’s in perfect condition; types beautifully, only needs a new ribbon.
