“So many amazing poems created on the spot.
We LOVED Typewriter Rodeo!  It’s clear our guests did too.”

The Smithsonian

The Smithsonian set up an exhibit just for us in the National Museum of American History.  It was called “Type-o-Rama” and featured some amazing typewriters from their collection — and of course we got to type tons of poems for the museum guests!

“You guys made Type-O-Rama a smash hit!”
Your skill and speed are unparalleled;
we’ve never seen anything like it.”

Harry Ransom Center

We were invited to the University of Texas’s Harry Ransom Center as part of their Alice in Wonderland exhibit opening party.  Attendance:  850

“The poem you wrote had us completely undone and crying. We wiped the tears away, laughing.  About 30 minutes later, we tried re-reading it — it had the same effect!  We fell apart again, the tears running down our cheeks.  The next day I framed it and gave it to Cas for Valentine’s Day.”

(Mary Yznaga & Cas Milner, Ransom Center party guests)
