Pecha Kucha-esque

Saturday, January 10th, 7-9pm

** TLDR: Talk about your idea for 6.5 minutes with 20 images. Or, join the audience. **

Ok, let me explain. First - Official Pecha Kucha events invite a presenter to share a slide show with 20 images, each auto-advancing after 20 seconds. That’s a grand total of 400 seconds (6 minutes 40 seconds) to talk about any topic you want. It’s a way of starting a conversation, sharing and connecting.

Now, hold on to that info for a sec and think about this. Have you ever started a conversation by saying “I have an idea.”? Yes? Then this event is for you. I have more ideas than I’ll ever be able to use (maybe you can relate?). Some of them are top secret but MOST of them are just fun, silly, creative, interesting, surprising, or straight up weird creations that pop into my mind (usually uninvited). For a reallllllly long time, I didn’t realize that other people were having the same experience. BUT NOW… I just want to hear all the wild, wacky, beautiful things your brain is thinking about too!

Here’s the -esque caveat. Rather than share about just any topic. You are invited to share about an idea, any idea, that you want to spotlight. It could be something you want to do, are trying to do, are looking for someone to help you with, want someone to take so you can stop obsessing over it when you’re trying to fall asleep. An idea from your brain that just needs to be shared.

And because our energy flows where our attention goes, audience members will have the opportunity to enthusiastically respond with things like “heck yeah!” or “what an amazing brain you have!”. There will be a zero tolerance policy for anything remotely discouraging and definitely no heckling. You don’t have be toxically positive, just regular supportive and encouragingly positive.

If at any point while reading this you laughed, chuckled, gasped, tilted your head in confusion, or had an idea then you probably need to just sign up right now so you that can experience whatever creative chaos ensues. You do not have to present! Be in the audience!
