Today, we are pleased to announce our participation at Pecha Kucha Night Houston Vol. 3 scheduled for next Thursday August 26th 2010 at Domy Books in Houston, Texas.
Pecha Kucha, pronounced "peh-chak-cha", is an international non-profit organization that seeks to encourage collaboration and the open sharing of ideas in a mix of show-and-tell, open-mike night and happy hour. It has become the forum of ideas on architecture, design, culture and a lot more.
Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of conversation "chit chat" its presentation format (20 slides x 20 seconds) was devised 7 years ago in Tokyo, Japan by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham as an event for people to meet, network, and show their work in public in a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
Pecha Kucha has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. We will be presenting at Pecha Kucha Night Houston Vol. 3 along with other local creatives that include: Farrah Chickerneo, MD Clinical Research Monitor; Carlos Hernandez, Illustrator; Jenny Leonard, Designer; Robert Boyd, Author; Monica Yael Garcia, Designer and Illustrator; Ned Doddington, Architect; Steven Thomson, Writer; Cody Ledvina, Artist; and METALAB, Architects.

Doors will be open at 8:00pm and presentations will start at 8:30pm.
