Philly Pecha Kucha 1 went so well that we’re throwing PPK2 really soon — Sat., June 13, to be precise. Tell your friends!

Wait — what’s Pecha Kucha? It’s the Japanese word for “chit-chat” (say “peh chak cha”). It’s also a kind of rapidfire creative show-and-tell governed by a simple rule: show 20 images, talk for 20 seconds apiece.

Wired magazine called it: “Say what you need to say in six minutes and 40 seconds of exquisitely matched words and images and then sit the hell down.” We call it an evening of fun, sociability, and a little larnin’ thrown in.

We’re still looking for presenters on June 13. Got a story you’re itching to tell? Visit phillypechakucha.com and drop a line.
