City Kitties
Friday, May 28
It’s that time of year again! City Kitties is thrilled to announce our 3rd Annual Art Auction. We need your help to make it a success!
Here’s how the event works: 50+ amazing artists donate 100+ pieces of original art to City Kitties, and we throw a huge party and auction it off to the highest bidder—all to benefit stray cats and kittens in West Philly. The auction is a great opportunity to collect original artwork including photographs, paintings, drawings, sculptures, metalwork, and more. And for just $5 at the door, you can enjoy live entertainment, free food and drinks, and a rockin’ party.
Art donations still needed!
Please contact City Kitties to get involved and make an art donation. More information: http://www.citykitties.org

Kenya, by JJ Tiziou
Philly photog and Studio 34 friend JJ Tiziou offers a manifesto/advice/instructions about being “photogenic.” (Hint: you already are.) Snip:
“The beauty in people is there all the time even when a camera’s not around. People are beautiful when they’re finding joy in life, being kind to others, and enjoying themselves. Of course the photo will be stronger if you’ve nailed the lighting, composition, focus etc… but people look beautiful in pictures if they are comfortable and happy, and if you’ve caught them at just the right moment. That’s all there is to it. It’s certainly tricky to catch real emotion in a photograph. And it’s a lot harder if your subject isn’t comfortable. But those are challenges for the photographer to deal with, not the subject.”

Pecha Kucha Night Philadelphia
Saturday, January 30, 7:30 p.m.
Save the date for the fourth spectacular edition of Philly Pecha Kucha (say peh-CHAK-cha), the rapidfire creative show-and-tell governed by a simple rule: show 20 slides, talk about each one for 20 seconds. Wired magazine calls 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 learning thrown in.
Vol. 4 is Start It Up Night: tales from local folks who willed their dreams into reality, from cupcake trucks to public-access TV. Don’t miss it!
What’s Pecha Kucha? It’s the Japanese word for “chit-chat.” Want more info? See Philly Pecha Kucha, join the PPK Facebook group, or visit worldwide Pecha Kucha HQ in Tokyo. Devised by Tokyo architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, Pecha Kucha events have been held in more than 265 cities.
