Improving St. Louis… Twenty Slides at a Time

Last week, we attended the latest Pecha Kucha St. Louis gathering at the Schlafly Tap Room.

I bet you’re wondering what Pecha Kucha is, right? And, more importantly, how the heck do you pronounce it?

Basically, Pecha Kucha is a night for groups and individuals to make a short presentation on their ideas to improve St. Louis. They have 20 slides, with 20 seconds to spend on each slide. 

Last week’s topics ranged from the benefits of organic farming to a case being made for more bike trails in St. Louis, as well as a brief history of photobooths, two brothers who make St. Louis-themed apparel and an impassioned initiative to make St. Louis even greater. 

We had a great time and want to thank the sponsors of this event and the groups and individuals who educated, inspired and amused us. As for that pronunciation? We’re still working on it...

If you’re interested in learning more about Pecha Kucha St. Louis or seeing a schedule of future events, check out their website. And if you're wondering where that lovely picture came from, check out Jay Fram's photos from the event at Pecha Kucha's Facebook page.

We want the Atomicdust blog to be a place where people can come and share their thoughts on marketing, design and how adorable they think our babies are, and leaving a comment allows you to do just that.

We will moderate the comments, and reserve the right not to post anything we deem inappropriate. That being said, we have created some guidelines to help ensure your post gets published:

Do: Be vocal
Share what you know. Ask about what you don’t.

Do: Spread the love
Feel free to share the posts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or wherever you play on the Internet. But if you could give us some credit, that would be nice. We work hard to write these posts... and want our fifteen minutes of fame.

Do: Watch your language
We’re all adults here (probably), but please, avoid using language that is obscene, vulgar, or lewd. (Lewd? That word just sounds gross.)

Don’t: Get all elementary on us
Spelling is hard sometimes. Please forgive people for their typos and spelling errors.

Do: Be like Honest Abe
No lies, please.

Don’t: Be like Kanye
TURN OFF YOUR CAPS. That is just annoying. (But not when Kanye does it. Then it is genius.)

Don’t: Be a hater
While we welcome criticism and open discussion, remember to be respectful. Make sure your comment is constructive and that it doesn’t offend, threaten or attack.

Don’t: Spam us
I’m sure that magic pill really works, but Atomicdust blog readers aren’t interested...
