I still need to get my *&% up to the Regional Assembly of Text in Vancouver, because it looks pretty cool (I mean, they have a letter writing club, for gosh sakes. how long have I rambled about taking this three hour road trip? That's it. This weekend. It's settled). The store is home to the lowercase reading room, a former storage closet that currently houses zines and homemade books (you know they want a copy of the typewriter journal. By the way, how is your submission coming along? Any questions for me?) The reading room has a blog if you are interested in taking a virtual tour.
You're really going to want to see the typewriter cake from the store's third anniversary party.
Whoa.

Must Have. That. Cake.
Whoa, it's a Galaxie in cake form! What's not to like?
I've spent some time starting entries for the journal and crumpling them. I have an idea for a short fiction piece that could work, but the short is eluding me. I swear, the hardest part of writing for me is leaving things out. I'll get there. And this will be good for me.
Don't forget to take pictures!
Cake. Amazing. I want it.
My submission is getting nowhere, but I'll find something inspiring. I might end up with photography rather than short fiction, but whatever. Oooh, maybe both! Anyway, I hope to have started by the end of May. (procrastination much?) We're supposed to mail it to you right? Like your house?
You might like to know (though it's much farther from you than BC) that Arabica Cafe, in downtown Portland Maine does 'Correspondence and Coffee' nights. Tonight we're trying to see how many typewriters we can get in there!
And- thank you for your comment.
I stopped at Cambridge Typewriter (and a few other shops) on my way home from the retreat and will post images soon- with a story about provisions!
The cake is just incredible. I look forward to hearing about your personal experience at this fantastic place!

Grace, hope to see some of your typecasting. Ok. I am finally going to the RAOT this month-- I swear.
The next Letter Night at Arabica Cafe (Portland, Maine) will be June 12th. It's the 2nd Friday of the month.
Come on out to New England!
