CUDO and Krannert Center Team Up for PechaKucha Night<http://www.krannertcenter.com/performance.aspx?id=201251125548308128174106178>
Friday, July 27, 2012, at 8:20pm; doors open at 7:30pm
Krannert Center, Lobby
FREE admission

First devised by a pair of Tokyo architects in 2003, PechaKucha Night has become an international phenomenon that uses a simple concept to create big community exchanges. Presenters have 20 images and 20 seconds per image to share their ideas, works, and passions for a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds flat.

The July 27 event will be the 10th PechaKucha Night hosted by the Champaign-Urbana Design Organization (CUDO) and the third collaboration between CUDO and Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. In addition to 10 unique speakers, the night will include free admission, DJ Mertz spinning at Stage 5 beginning at 7:30pm, and beer specials throughout the night. Topics and perspectives vary widely, but the high energy and diverse creativity have undeniable appeal to all. Adult language is a possibility (see speaker number one!), so those with sensitive ears, be forewarned!

Confirmed presenters for PKN Volume 10 include:
Baub Alred: The Desensitization of the Curse Word
Rebecca Blachly: Hip-hop, the Pentagon, and Me
AJ Christensen: Physics and Purpose
Mayor Don Gerard: Dr. Strangeglove (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Hitting Curve Balls and Love Municipal Government)
Julia Govis: Farm to School
Michael Kilby: Words, Art, T-shirts?
Chris Lukeman: Giant Robots, Vampire Lincoln, and a Mummy: Indie Filmmaking in Champaign
Maurice Meilleur: Three Pretty Cool Things You Probably Didn't Know about Letters and Type
Andrew Voris: Stand-up Comedy
Matt Wiley: Gadgets, Inventions, and Other Random Things to Change the World
