Apr. 20th, 2007 03:00 pmWaaaay back in January, Wil Wheaton posted this in his Geek In Review:
Last night, my wife and I drove past a store that repaired vacuums, sewing machines, and typewriters.
"Typewriters?" I said. "Does anyone still use a typewriter?"
First off, I make a B| face at you, sir.
But, secondly...
Is there seriously another typewriter-repair shop around/near Pasadena?
I mean, I know about Typewriter Guy who owns the typewriter shop next to CoCo's Diner. That's where I got my spifftacular typewriter that I love like the love of a thousand, tiny kittens. (And that's a lot of love). But Typewriter Guy is getting on in years and will probably be closing his shop down soon. So a kiffie is gonna need to find another typewriter shop soon or her uber-awesome Smith-Corona will be sentenced to a life of oblivion when it does decide to break.
And, you know, if there's a chance a kiffie could find a good, solid desk typewriter for under $200, kiffies will be there with bells on.
Furthermore, the local vacuum-repair place shut down two or three years ago, and our vacuum NEEDS to be fixed.
I really need to find out where this place is so I can go visit and make a face like this: :D ?
So, anyone who lives in that area know what shop the mighty Wheaton is talking about?
