8:00pm - 11:00pm
Martyr's
3855 North Lincoln

I'll be talking about my work/research in PK Night, volume 11, along with a handfull of other design folks! Come for pizza and beer, stay for the slideshow!

Doors open at 6pm (people actually start arriving then too). The presentations start [sort of] promptly at 8:00. My suggestion is to arrive no later than 7:30pm, share some pizza and libations and to meet the presenters. Martyrs' is packed by 8pm - definitely no seats left, standing room only - it's a rock n roll concert/club venue.

Pecha Kucha
Tickets $10, 21+

Pecha Kucha Night, devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (Klein Dytham architecture), was conceived in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.

But as we all know, give a mike to a designer (especially an architect) and you’ll be trapped for hours. The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented system for avoiding this fate. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.
