20 Slides, 20 Seconds, each, a dozen "amazing people with brilliant ideas" and beer are the needed ingredients for a Pecha Kucha Night. Held in around 300 cities, Pecha Kucha originated in Tokyo and now spreads like a erstwhile secret society into the creative underbellies of boroughs and urban centers where architects, world changes, artists, poets, musicians and survivors face the audience under pressure to inspire, amuse, inform, and/or educate ~ but mostly inspire ~ through their story. On April 7, 2010 in Vancouver, BC, i joined the club with my 20 slides about creativity, inspiration, arts and crafts and authenticity - all lessons gathered from years of wandering the globe.
