If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know I’m a huge fan of Pecha Kucha Dayton- a local event run by three South Parkians.
This is a local event of a global network of events. It’s free (including the beer and wine- donations accepted) and it’s fun- and you may learn something. If you still don’t know what PK is- I’ve included three videos at the bottom of the post that explain it- and why. One follows the format- 20 slides, 20 seconds each- the other- is a TED talk-and longer (he doesn’t quite practice what he preaches), and the last is a PK about making a PK that is a little more academic version.
This event will be a little different- like a tent revival. The next one will be at the Masonic temple… in about 3 months.
Here’s the details from the global site:
Gosiger is going to put up a tent and invite us to party at their place! (McDonough + Bacon) We can’t believe our luck! Not only do we have a venue that’s exciting the heck out of us, we have a tantalizing assemblage of presenters lined up. Now, this list is still tentative, but it’s looking really great. And–oh yeah–our emcee will be Jason Antonick.
- Aili Bresnahan – Dance: what and why
- Brynn Delange – Bearded dragons
- Crystal Lake – Artisanal products inspired by literature
- Arch Grieve – Sarajevo, Bosnia
- Joel Pruce – a Ferguson, Missouri, project
- Yvette Kelly-Fields – Blame it on the Funk
- Juanita Darden-Jones –
the arrival of Downtown Brownwhat led her to open Third Perk
- Todd Muskopf –
Boudoir photographyGlamour portraits and survivorship- Randi Levinson – sexuality
Plus, we’re hoping to snoop some history on the folks at Gosiger, a century-old, family-owned machine tool, engineering and automation joint. They are kind of awesome.
