RIP Joe McGinniss

Here’s the “sig” cartoon of Joe McGinniss, at his start, banging out a Metro Column

on an unidentified typewriter for the Philadelphia INQUIRER. For a story about the days when a

Metro columnist could say, “I’d rather cover the Viet Nam war than City Council…” and

wind up on a plane for Saigon in short order, click here.

TWO TYPE-INs coming to Philadelphia: 13 Sept. + 19 Oct.

215a

 

SO– Here’s the scoop: first one (Friday, 19 Sept.)  is a big benefit to help make the 215 Lit Fest happen. So it costs money (a cool twenty), but you will have a good time in a bookstore like you have never seen.There will be typewriters, including an Olivetti Lettera 32 on auction, and other goodies.

Details RIGHT HERE.

Second one (Sat., 19 October) is part and parcel of the 215 Fest, which will bring a great array of literary and musical talent to Philadelphia. It’s outside, free and will feature amplified typewriter haiku… among other things! DETAILS SOON.
