The Beatles had their demo rejected from Decca Records before they made it big. Everything has to start from humble beginnings and you will remember this when type-ins become a famous national event.<br /><br />Anyway, it appears you satisfied four out of the five conditions of a type-in, as specified in Section 2 (5) of the Non-computerised Writing Machines Act (2001):<br /><br />A gathering of like-minded people at a given physical location may be defined as a "type-in" provided the following conditions are met:<br />1. The purpose of the gathering is primarily for the use and discussion of typewriters<br />2. The gathering is comprised of 3 or more individuals who may reasonably be expected to enjoy (or quickly learn to enjoy) using typewriters<br />3. The gathering is advertised publicly through appropriate social media prior to it taking place such that individuals as mentioned in (2) may be duly notified<br />4. The events and happenings of the gathering are described publicly through appropriate social media such that those who could not attend have the opportunity to see what they have missed out on.<br />5. The gathering takes place in an indoor location (NOTE: if this condition is not met but the other 4 conditions are met- then the gathering may instead be called a "type-out" instead).Steve Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096720918399327814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130418293737366087.post-58494123639679677942014-04-10T07:23:14.833-07:002014-04-10T07:23:14.833-07:00Dang - sorry to hear that.

I never even thought about wi-fi! I actually hosted it at a wi-fi hotspot and brought my laptop as well. I'm having a total forehead-slapping moment, now. Thank you for the suggestion; I may set up a Google Hangout or Skype conference next time. Also, the next one will be a Saturday; most of Riverside seems to be in church on Sundays the time that I had scheduled the type-in, which I also didn't consider. Live and learn, right? Thank you very much for the encouragement...and I will be posting that typecast and pics soon. Not sure if I'll get to it before Wild West Fest, but if not, I'll do it early next week. Thanks again! =DA.R.M.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11647457788080424015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130418293737366087.post-20955997969880638002014-04-10T02:19:19.397-07:002014-04-10T02:19:19.397-07:00I believe the type-in/out to be successful needs j...I believe the type-in/out to be successful needs just one person to enjoy the time spent with the typewriter - in or out - all the rest is just numbers. Sure the more the merrier and it is nice to share the joy with others but sometimes the timing may be just off - that should not (and I see it didn't) discourage you from trying again :) If you set the next one up within Wi-Fi range and advertise it early enough you may be joined by some virtual guests too ;)Piotr Trumpielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849313715621355838noreply@blogger.com
