QWERTYFEST MKE ’25: Day Three

by | Oct 12, 2025 | QWERTYFEST | 0 comments

The last day of QWERTYFEST began with a visit to Forest Home Cemetery and the Sholes memorial. I slept in and skipped it, but I had been there back in 2014 when there was an international typewriter collectors’ convention in Milwaukee.

I did have time for brunch before I hit the road. This took place at a bowling alley on a classic Milwaukee neighborhood corner.

 

Yes, that is a unicycle, and you’ll see more of it.

The event combined food, typewriters, music, and conversation. (Later there was bowling, but I had to embark on the eight-hour drive to Cincinnati and couldn’t stay.)

 

This couple had a bright yellow late Erika and an early laptop.

 

More computer technology was in evidence at this table featuring some objects near and dear to the passionate mechanical keyboard community.

Is this Klingon?

More tactile joy was provided by a Selectric.

 

Fun was had in many ways …

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think these images sum up the spirit of QWERTYFEST:

 

I look forward to my next chance to see friends from the typosphere.
