Here’s the scoop, per the Philadelphia City Paper:

The reporter was quite polite and left out the part where some of the balloons and their letters got tangled in Christmas lights piteously, like something out of a Fritz Lang movie, except it was sunny out and nobody got upset or anything.

COME to Philadelphia October 19.
GO to “Populaire” right now!

The Guardian reports that “The Other Typist” will become a movie. Keira Knightley has signed on.

Unclear if Knightley will play the protagonist/narrator Rose, or the new typist, Odalie, who shakes up the squad room with her Jazz-Age morals and mysterious past. Will Mavis Beacon appear in the credits? Will they get the machines correct? Will they use a hand double for the typing scenes? (Hey, Matt, break out the nail polish!)

FLASH: Steven Huang, the organizer of the Foldie Foodie (a ride in which folder bike fans explore NYC eateries) has recently become a typewriter gee– , er, aficionado.  (Steven co-produced the recent Manhattan Type-IN)  He realized that there was a conflict, with one of his rides taking place on International Typewriter Day.  Thus, in an audacious, Solomonic, cross-technological move, Mr. H has hybridized his ride, so to speak, arranging to have typewriters at each of the restaurants the ride visits. When? Well, tomorrow, SUNDAY, June 23rd.  

If you have a folder bike, like typing, or eating or all three (sequentially, not simultaneously!), this could be your cup of ramen.  Find out more here:   www.brommieyummie.com

I am 50% likely to come up from Philadelphia with my folder bike and a Lettera 22. Things like this don’t happen every day, y’know.

Now you’ve heard the story / Just one one thing to do for me                                               Bring a Phillips-head at midnight / Counter-clockwise sets me free                                                                                  Let me walk until I break down /There’s so much out there to see.

— it seemed like this guy needed a break, and one morning, the end of the song popped up.

The producer who covered the Manhattan Type-IN has just sent us an email saying her story on the neo-typing/Populaire, etc., should air on tonight’s (Sun. May 5) NBC Nightly News. She cautioned that it could get bumped if the hockey game goes overtime, so go easy on the high-sticking, Bertrand!

cheers
