Events: L.A. Type-In

Modern digital devices take a back seat to the clickity-clack of old-fashioned machinery at L.A.’s first gathering for typewriter enthusiasts, the L.A. Type-In. There’ll be the Fastest Typist Contest, an on-site technician to clean or repair old typewriters, free expert appraisals of vintage models, and a Name That Typewriter Contest from popular films and TV shows, plus an opportunity to type letters to friends and family — envelope and paper provided. Red Lion Tavern, 2366 Glendale Blvd., Silver Lake. 2-6 p.m. Sun. Free. (323) 662-5337. latypein.eventbrite.com.
