Yesterday we laid out an invitation for everyone to send in their PechaKucha-related stories, and here’s one from Matthew Dyer, who was a presenter at PKN Columbus Vol. 12 in February of last year. Matthew also recorded his presentation — “Why I’m a Total Bastard” (but in essence, why he’s not) — to put on his site with the visuals, so go and have a listen.
I was a little nervous to present a story that was so personal, and going on last that evening I felt like I was headlining! Having my mom & dad in the audience, who braved a two hour drive in the snow to be there, was a spectacular feeling. People seemed receptive, and I think (hope) they left that cold night a little warmer having heard the story I wanted to share.
