The typewriter exhibition at the Canberra Museum and Gallery ended on Sunday and all 101 typewriters, plus ephemera, posters and sundry other bits and pieces, were back in my house by 3pm yesterday. Still all packed up, ready to go on the road. But to where? On Route 66?
Well it winds from Chicago to
LA
More than 2000 miles all the way
Well it goes from St Louis, down to
Missouri,
Oklahoma City looks oh so pretty
You'll see
Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget
Winona,
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino
Would you get hip to this kindly
tip
And go take that California trip
Some hope! And yet they will have to go somewhere ... There's no room left to swing Charlie the Cat here. That's about 650 typewriters, all in one house: far, far too many.
Perhaps I should have loaded up that plane to help you out!
ReplyDeleteThose machines you had at the exhibition were beautiful though. I'm going to put up my photos of the exhibition when I have enough time to sort them out.
You really do have some awesome stuff. I think once you sort out some shelving of some kind you'll see a light at the end of the tunnel.
can I have one of your typewriters, please....
