For last year’s Inspire Japan event, Motoko Shoboji stepped up and put together a special PechaKucha event in New York to help raise awareness and to contribute to the global fundraiser. This year, to mark the upcoming anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan (on Sunday, March 11), he is organizing a follow-up event, “Ippo x 365 – Reflections on the Japanese Front,” that will take place tomorrow (Saturday, March 10). We’ve included details in this post, and there’s more in this post on the Spoon & Tamago blog — Spoon & Tamago’s Johnny Strategy will be MCing the event, as well as presenting.

PechaKucha Night returns to New York this coming Monday (September 14) for Vol. 7. The event takes place at Solar One, and seating will be limited to the first 200 arrivals, so get there fast! The night will kick off with a performance by chiptune artist Nullsleep, which you won’t want to miss.

Lucky for us who weren’t able to attend, Deborah offers a condensed version of her talk, in which she shares her hypothesis that “environmental action should delight people.”
Coverage from last week’s PechaKucha Night in New York has been spreading far and wide through the webscape, and I have to say I’m quite fond of the title from this post at Edificial:
I Went to PechaKucha And All I Got Was This Nagging Sense That I Should Be Doing More With My Life
Words to live by.
Just how big was PechaKucha Night in New York Vol. 6? How about a sold-out crowd of 700, which included NYC luminaries like Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson. We’ll have more photos from the event in a few days, but for now, here’s a nice write-up of all the night’s presenters.
