The next installment of
PechaKucha (literally translates to chit chat in Japanese) looks like it has a lot of potential. The event brings participants together to talk about just about anything, be it their work, their passion or their hobbies, and asks them to present a slideshow (20 slides at 20 seconds each).
Held once more inside the air conditioned Charline McCombs Empire Theatre, PK19 will take place on Tuesday, August 25 at 6:30 p.m. (side note: The Arneson was a great idea in theory, but we ended up sitting in a giant bowl of sweat for three hours).
