We took our show on the road last weekend to the Mini Maker Faire in Urbana, IL. We took with us a flock of pigeons, a store of stationery and a brigade of typewriters. All these things combined to make us a hit success at the fair. Our booth was full of eager letter writers all day.
A special thanks again to the Appleton Coated company for their sponsorship. The Conqueror paper they sent us is "like buttah" in the typewriters.
I even went so far as to print it in color to mimick the MAKE magazine logo. It looked so nice that people could not believe we were giving it away for free.
Jealous of all the fun these guys are having? Remember to join us at our next social for Atlas Obscura Day, tomorrow, Saturday the 28th, at the Read/Write Library. You can get your hands on some of that super nice Conqueror paper in a brand-new commemorative design for the day. A ticket is only required IF you want the special L.W.A. membership card. As always, we are hosting the social for free and donations to Read/Write Library are welcomed.
P.S. A little pigeon told me that this social is also an Elsewhere Philatellic Society stamp window. Please bring your passport to be stamped. Visas will also be available upon providing of an S.A.S.E.
I love seeing all the children crowded around your booth! There is hope for the future of letter writing. :) Someday I am going to schedule a visit to see family in Chicago around the time of one of your socials!
