For today’s letter writing-themed blog post, we are looking at a Typewritten Avalanche Sending John Mayer Typed Mail.

There is a recent article over at The Typosphere on “John Mayer precipitates a typewritten avalanche”.

Quoting that January 11, 2018 article: “Popular singer-songwriter John Mayer (shown here in “California Typewriter”) has just given typewriter shops a big shot in the arm…”

Last Fall we were covering the movie California Typewriter in these two blog posts: California Typewriter movie with Tom Hanks & The Typosphere and One Thousand and One & California Typewriter Movie Available Options.

Here is the Instagram text (and image clickable)

“johnmayer2018: a return to naturalism. Let’s correspond. Real paper. Real ink. Real names. Here’s the plan: get yourself a typewriter (@californiatypewriter and Etsy have some great ones) and send me a one page, properly formatted letter (formal or informal) and I will reply to a few every morning. Include return envelope/postage if you’re overseas.

My special thanks to The Typosphere!

In conclusion, have fun getting out your typewriter, or borrowing one, or as John Mayer suggesting, consider getting one to call your own!

P.S. I’m currently at seven typewriters in my personal collection!
