Yes, I’m the tenth presenter tonight, after the two beer breaks. My presentation is on…well you will just have to show up to find out.
So what is PKN?
PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of conversation (“chit chat”), it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds.
It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
PKN St. Louis #3 will be held at Mad Art Gallery, 2727 South 12th Street. in the Soulard neighborhood. Doors open at 7pm and the first presentation begins around 7:30pm. The event is free and seating is limited.

Sounds a lot like Ignite (http://ignite.oreilly.com/). I have been to a few and they are always really interesting. Nice line-up, good luck!
Steve, I thoroughly enjoyed your talk. You raised many good issues with respect to planning and urban design that need much more public understanding and knowledge. Too often people are against change altogether just because it seems to bring with it bad things. Change can be positive and useful, but only if the resources are invested intelligently.
Thanks Andrew, your history of Noguchi was so interesting — I love his work and though I knew about the Magic Chef ceiling I didn't know about his entry in the 1947 competition.
Great that St. Louis finally has PK. I unfortunately missed this last one, and it may be a while yet before I attend one, but I'm glad that St.Loo has caught up to PK!
