Clear your calendars Medicine Hat!
On March 14, I will be joining some of the southeast’s most creative and interesting people at the second PechaKucha Night of 2014, taking place at the Esplanade Studio Theatre, start time 8:20 p.m.
As one of a dozen presenters on the evening (details below), i will be talking about the Forgotten Alberta blog, and why it is poised to change the course of world history, or something like that.
What is PechaKucha you ask? I have lifted the following information from the Esplanade website for your reading pleasure:
What is PechaKucha?
PechaKucha Nights are informal and fun gatherings where creative people get together and share their ideas, works, thoughts, holiday snaps, etc. in the PechaKucha 20×20 format. PechaKucha Nights are now held in over 710 cities worldwide.
