I cannot decide whether or not I appreciate this sarcastic comment banking off of an obvious typo. I will contemplate this matter.

Getting up up in front of forks is always scary. Spoons less so.

Agreed! I mean the format should be known, and so (as I see it) one should make sure they are capable to compile with the format. Sure getting up in front of forks can be rough, but that is part of why it is done.

I really enjoyed the event. The part I was most disappointed about was that some of the presenters clearly didn’t put any thought or practice into their speech before hand. If you’re going to be speaking in front of 200 people show some respect for the audience.

Funny, I was just talking about ToastMasters with a co-worker about five minutes ago. I’ve definitely heard the comparison between pecha kucha and it before.

Great to hear from you too John. Thanks for the comment!

Think about PK as being similar to ToastMasters. It’s as much about development and improving your praxis as it is about the spit and polish.

There was one down in Beantown a while back but it’s just far enough away as to be inconvenient. May try to do one in the Lakes Region.

Always good to hear from you Nate!
