Speaking at Pecha Kucha

kyle — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:11:08 +0000

Pecha Kucha 14 is happening in Atlanta this Sunday. What is Pecha Kucha? Well…

a presentation format in which content can be easily, efficiently and informally shown, usually at a public event designed for that purpose. Under the format, a presenter shows 20 images for 20 seconds apiece, for a total time of 6 minutes, 40 seconds.

It was devised in 2003 by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Tokyo‘s Klein-Dytham Architecture (KDa), who sought to give young designers a venue to meet, network, and show their work and to attract people to their experimental event space in Roppongi.^[1] They devised a format that kept presentations very concise in order to encourage audience attention and increase the number of presenters within the course of one night. They took the name Pecha Kucha from a Japanese term for the sound of conversation (“chit-chat”).

Klein and Dytham’s event, called Pecha Kucha Night, has spread virally around the world. More than 170 cities now host such events.

I went to number 13 last month and it was truly great. This time around, I’ll be one of the speakers. The title of my slide presentation is “48 Hours.” Vague? Well, yes. It’s supposed to be. Come see what it’s all about.

Pecha Kucha happens at 7pm at Octane on the west side. Get there early! It gets packed!

Madonna-rama Confirmed!

I’ll be ramping up my DJ services again this year for Madonna-rama at Mary’s in East Atlanta! It’s all Madonna music and videos all night long. Last year was a total blast! And I just confirmed the event with Mary’s so it’s a done deal. Put it on the calendar! It’ll be something to remember!

Friday, August 14th
Madonna-rama at Mary’s!

For Those of You in the ATL

Head to Noni’s tonight. We’re going to start birthday celebrations at 8pm and then see where it takes us. Noni has a way of inspiring its own unique type of dance party (usually meaning Kyle gets tipsy enough and takes over the ipod) so it could turn into that. They’ve come up with the “Kay Kay Haaaay” special drink tonight: vodka and mint infused blueberry something or other. $5! I’ll take three!

At the very least, it’ll be a place to gather and see what’s up. Maybe then Highland Inn too?

Let me save your life.

I’m spinnin’ the rekords at Mary’s on Friday. It’s a Wig Party celebrating women who rock. I’ll be playing chic rock and chic pop all night long. YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT.

Come on out!

It was good to get home last night and reconnect with my people. Tonight should be good too, as Martha and Rami are throwing the fundraiser/party for us. I took the liberty of ordering three of these for added affect:

I’m going to be collecting video tonight so I’ll post some tomorrow. I’m wondering though, what question should I ask my subjects? Should I interrogate them? Read them their rights?

Any other suggestions?

some pics…
