Improving St. Louis… Twenty Slides at a Time

Improving St. Louis… Twenty Slides at a Time

Pecha Kucha Night in St. Louis

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…
