PechaKucha night Chicago

We know you really wanted to be watching the Cubs and Sox in their playoff series next Monday - we're sorry it wasn't meant to be. To take your mind off the wait until next year, we've organized a special extra event for you...
Pecha Kucha Night Chicago is proud to present, with the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, the first Pecha Kucha Night Chicago Event with Chicago Artists Month. Join us on Monday October 13, 2008, first pitch 8pm, in the friendly confines of Martyrs', 3855 N. Lincoln Avenue. An amazing list of artists connected to the Chicago art community will travel from near and far to do their Pecha Kucha thing.
What could be better? An evening with your Pecha Kucha friends, extraordinary visual stimulation, Chicago's funnest rock n roll venue, maybe even a delicious libation or two. Professors (really!) Andy Hall and Peter Exley will emcee. Get your tickets now at http://www.martyrstickets.musictoday.com
Don't forget to put your regular Pecha Kucha Night in your calendar - December 2. If you are finally thinking about presenting, make sure you forward your name to info@pechakuchachicago.org sooner rather than later.
Peace, love, Pecha, Kucha.
