Itinerary for the Riverside Type-In and Antique Mall Crawl

Salutations Typospherians!

Just wanted to toss up a quick type-in itinerary and map link for all going to the Type-in on Sunday!

Just in case you need a look at the flyer again.

We will be meeting at Molinos Coffee at 10:00AM sharp and will be there, typing, talking machines and ect. until 2:00PM (unless there is a group decision to begin the Mall Crawl earlier, which could be moved up as early as noon--your choice guys!). Due to the size of Mission Galleria, we may have to split into two groups: those who want to crawl just the Galleria and those who want to crawl the other shops in town. The Galleria is a really fun antique store, but it generally doesn't have a whole lot in the way of typewriters (watches and clocks, on the other hand...). That being said, those who want to do some machine hunting, follow the little red scooter, overburdened with typewriters! Our first stop will be Old Glory General Store, which has a back room that is great for typer hunting. It's located at 4344 Market St. From there we will continue down Market to the best typer hunting grounds in town: Elizabeth Street. 3772 Elizabeth is but one of seven Shops that has things I think most Typospherians would be interested in. It is Renaissance Book Store, and has books on typers, pens and writing instruments, and scores of other things. It is surrounded by five antique stores-all of which I have found and bought machines in-and Goodwill. The antique stores are Forget-Me-Not, Guerrero's Treasures & Collectibles, AnnTiques, Flamenco and another in the alley between Forget-Me-Not and Flamenco that I cannot remember the name of, but I picked up my Hermes 3K from there. Guerrero's and Forget-Me-Not's are stores you don't want to miss; the bulk of my local-found collection has come from these two stores, as well as many other things non-typewriter related.

Spoiler alert: keep your eyes peeled for a sight like this on the streets, and follow me!

I'm excited to see Typospherians and locals alike at the Type-In! Come if you can and enjoy! See you Sunday!

Takin' care of business at Molinos'.

This place has great coffee, a great atmosphere, and the added benefit of being attached to the largest antique shop in the city.

Fantastic view of the historic Mission Inn across the street.

If you are interested in potentially taking over the ICI or if you have a suggestion about the Riverside Type-In, Please contact me here.

Sorry I'm posting about this so late; L.A. Marler is hosting another type-in! It will be Saturday, March 8th at her studio. I wish I could make it, but my scooter just couldn't do that kind of a drive.

I will be posting info soon on a type-in I'll be hosting locally, along with a very long and much-overdue update. Hope all is well.

A Cull for A Cause

Salutations Typospherians,

In continuation with my last post, I have been wracking my brain, trying to figure out how to get the word out about my friend Roxy beyond her Facebook page. After some thought and discussion, I have decided to start a advertising campaign. Beyond putting banners on my bikes, I am also going to accost Craigslist (and a few other sites) and try to figure out some effective paid advertising as well.

That requires funds. And, I'm still jobless.

So...

Remember the machines I had for sale earlier in the year to raise funds to buy Scarlett, my scooter? Well, I still have most of them. And I'm willing to entertain reasonable offers plus S&H...and may even be willing to let go of a few other machines from my collection. Two of these machines are pending homes; I will update and let everyone know for certain if they go.

 This one may be spoken for.

Still need some work on the mainspring of this one, but it's about 95%. Has ink and pencil, too!

This one is a fixer-upper.

I really like this one. It has a really pretty leather case and I'm not sure I wanna get rid of it. XD

This fella works well but needs a cover. Has case and key.

This one is on hold.

Love a wedge!

I'd rather not ship this one, because the shipping would be obscene. Any local takers?

Please stop by 'A Kidney for Roxy' on Facebook (linked above) and show my bestie some love!

Thank you guys. You rock!

Salut!

Anna.

A Kidney for Roxy

So, as mentioned above there is a Facebook page for this very worthy cause and we can be contacted through it or, you can email me directly. Even the thought counts and I'm sure my friend would appreciate your well-wishes, but I also feel that time is of the essence. So if you are willing an able, please consider kidney donation. I can almost guarantee you won't regret it.

Thank you all for reading this.

Anna.

PS-- if you read this, this is just for you, sis:

There's A Way Around Everything

I hope this post finds you all well, my ink-slinging friends! There will be more forthcoming, the very next in regards to the ICI. See you soon!
