John King, the host of The Drunken Odyssey: A Podcast About the Writing Life, and the host of To a Certain Degree radio show and podcast are hosting a write-in — well, a type-in — at the house where Jack Kerouac wrote his novel, Dharma Bums. This is a write in with typewriters. Writers who wish to join this write-in are invited to go old school with numerous antique typewriters that will be on hand for this event, and bebop jazz will be playing to help drown out all those typewriters. Paper will be provided; you will need to provide your own inspiration. The Typewriters & Jazz Write-In is free and open to the public and takes place Saturday 1 to 3 at the Kerouac House.
