Pecha Kucha


This stuff is spreading like wild-fire, so you may already be well aware of this very interesting phenomenon. Simply put, Pecha Kucha is an event where people gather and watch presenters talk about anything...the catch is each presenter has 20 PowerPoint slides (no more, no less) and exactly 20 seconds for each slide. The presentations flow, and there is little room for rambling on. Audiences tend to enjoy this.

My good buddy Stu set up a Pecha Kucha evening at The Crooked Tree CoffeHouse (www.crookedtreecoffehouse.com), which is owned by one of our good friends Kristyn. The event was fantastic and several interesting topics were covered. The point of this post was simply to make our readers aware of this great little event known as Pecha Kucha, and to encourage others to participate and/or help set up one at a coffeehouse or other place of business near you.

Learn more about Pecha Kucha at www.Pecha-Kucha.org. This last paragraph was needed because I think I was taught in middle school that there should never be two paragraphs...either one paragraph, or if more than one is required there should be three or more. Maybe I just made that up, who knows?
