Pecha Kucha is blowing up everywhere and I couldn’t be happier. Started by a couple of architects in Tokyo, it’s a night where designers showcase their work or an idea to other people – but they have only 20 images and 20 seconds, giving them 6 minutes and 40 seconds to show everyone why they’re brilliant. And people show everything – it’s rarely about architecture.

It’s grown from Tokyo to all over the world. Pecha-Kucha San Francisco is alive and healthy. I highly recommend attending one in your neighborhood – you mingle with great people, get inspired and best of all, it’s free.

For my fellow San Franciscans, the next meeting is Wednesday, September 27th at 330 Ritch at 7pm.
