There is a new art fair in Irving. It's called the Irving Main Street Event. The booth fee has been reduced to $25 and the show isn't juried. Please give the link below to any artists/crafters/vendors (no musicians...all musician spots are filled) you know who might be interested. It's only a 5 hour show on September 27th, so it's not a huge commitment. They still have lots of openings, so lets fill 'er up! And tell them that Shelly referred you :)…

Interesting South
(http://interestingsouth.com/) Check it out. It's an informal lecture/presenation event that started in London last year. The event is similar to a PK event with less structure and open topics. Please share your comments.

Yes. I was the first presenter at the first one 2008-04-27 17:31:09
in Denver! I had come across a set of old Village Inn training slides, so I edited them down to 20 of the most boring, banal images there were. Some had really cheesy graphics on them that said 'pizazz!', even. My narrative consisted of: "Number one. Greeting." "number two. Greeting." and so forth. 20 seconds is an ETERNITY when you only say three words per slide. The crowd was in hysterics, and it was all I could do to keep a…

One of the most impressive PK groups in the States is the San Fran group. To get a feeling of what the PKDFW will eventually achieve check out the SF website
http://pechakucha-sf.com/index.htm. The SF group is about to hold their 24th volume this June to mark their 2 year anniversary. The coolest thing about this upcoming event is that they have lined it up with another very large event the San Jose Global Art Festival. A Fantastic Idea.

Today, I made contact with the staff at two local museums to begin discusions about this type of event and what it would take to hold our first Pecha Kucha Night at either location.
Please practice virility and spread this idea to your other communities. This is the only way to gain the momentum in the art and design communities.
Gratefully,
Dean
