  Next Event: June 17th theme: "CAUSE." Mid-June will be "Design Makes a Difference" Week and we’ve teamed-up with the IDSA to invite YOU to consider that thing we really don't get enough to REALLY solve problems...or was it the simplest non-answer: 'cuz'. Or, is it an issue, person or problem that gives meaning to our own efforts, gives shape to our visions, gives purpose to our talents? Pecha Kucha San Francisco and the IDSA want to know. Come tell us and the whole community - what's THE cause?" We already have a great line-up coming together - let us know if you'd like to join in the fun - designers of things 3D and big, etc. are encouraged to represent, too. sign-up here! PK-tweets! - Follow us at @PechaKucha_SF and join our FB group at "PechaKucha Night - San Francisco" We're still negotiating the venue so stay tuned - we'll announce as soon as we're set. See you on the 17th, Team-PK

  San Francisco, 14 March 2009

  Our first PechaKucha Night in the Berkeley was a big hit, and judging from the responses, not the last. Friday night's PechaKucha Night may have started something - again. Out in the courtyard of the College if Environmental Design's Wurster Hall at UC Berkeley, under clear skies and warm spring temps, 200+ enthusiastic guests turned out for what became an evening chilly in temperature and hot with ideas. The evening was a big hit and created lots of converts. The general sentiment was "What took you so long to come here?" and "When can we do it again?!" A live local band added to the festive atmosphere before getting started and during the break. things started on a high note with a presentation of works from the Architect/ Structural Engineering duo of Endres/Ware showing competition winning commissions for the PS1 in New York and a bridge in Ohio and much more. Not to be outdone by a bunch of pros, Berkeley Architecture grad student, Julio actually invoked japanese fashion design in his explorations of architectural forms echoing fibrous plants and bubble-like volumes. Mike Levigne, Creative Director at frogdesign issued a well articulated challenge for all of us to get back to the most important impulse for creation - love.

  PKNv32 - at UCB CED - BYOB Evening everyone, Seems navigating the alcohol permit process on campus is harder than we thought. So, no wine or beer. There will still be plenty of EANABs* available to purchase. The show must go on! So bring something to keep you warm. Team PK-sf * Equally attractive non-alcoholic beverages, ummm.

• PechaKucha-sf UPDATE - February 2009

  San Francisco, 20 February 2009

  Great fun back at 330 RITCH Here's a recap, just in case you missed Wednesday's event. Our 31st event continued along the same upward trend we've been enjoying for 3 years!! They just keep getting better. The line outside was becoming a problem while we made the last preparations, but we were happy to welcome over 300 people came back to our old stomping grounds at 330 Ritch in the South of Market to see 11 fantastic presentations that included more than one first for PK-sf, among them an artistic aerial trapeze performance and a live jazz trio. While DJ Dan Senatore was jetting about Europe, DJ Joe filled-in with some excellent rolling vibes that more than filled the space when Keith Chamberlain and his jazz trio were not giving us all some seriously cool atmosphere -we all looked remarkably sexy when they played. Keith's presentation on the evening's theme of CHANGE launched with Shiva the god of destruction & creativity and wove a line of thought right through the centerline of a stemcell's first steps of growth...he left the room wowed & awed. Not to be out done, the aerial performance duo of Kate & Alayna AKA "Bow & Sparrow", spun the room's attention round to the middle of the space where Kate performed a sensual dance suspended 7 feet off the ground while images of their performances flashed across the screen. (www.alaynastroud.com). Architect Jerry Griffin gave an eye-popping crash course in how far a sustainable building can go in the Synergy Center project he has been designing and Frederick Gibson offered shared his practice's work from Califiornia to New Zealand. Travel writer Edward Hasbrouck challenged everyone not only to go out and see the world, but also, because it will be increasingly difficult to do it, to make the most of this fading opportunity to connect. (www.hasbrouck.org) And those were some of the highlights. We're busy putting together next month's event.
