Seattle recently had its momentous Vol. 30, and from organizer Ana Maria Pinto da Silva we get a little peek at what the gathering looked like (above) — you’ll find the list of presenters on the official event page. We’re told it was a really fun event — there was even a presenter who accompanied his presentation on guitar. A new PechaKucha Night series is going to start in Bellingham, and the new organizer was able to drop by the Seattle event to check in and see how they do things there — and you’ve got to figure they’re doing something right, considering they were celebrating their 30th edition!
From what PechaKucha Night in Seattle organizer Ana Silva tells us, last Thursday’s Vol. 29 was an amazing one, and it even included a special guest, PKN Chattanooga organizer Matt Brown, who was greeted with “a super warm welcome” from the PKN Seattle team. Ana is also prepping for the next PKN in Seattle, which will be held on April 16, part of our Global PechaKucha Day charity event — more details on that very soon.

All things seem to cycle in one way or another. A night of recycle artists, people reinventing their methodologies, thought processes and their own selves. What kind of project do you want to take on next? Come be inspired by what others are doing or have already done!
You can see the full list of presenters on the official Vol. 16 event page. Pictured above, the scene for PKN Seattle Vol. 14, held in October of last year at the Bellevue Arts Museum.
Do you have what it takes to be a karaoke queen? Amanda Swartwout apparently does, and so the focus of her PechaKucha Night in Seattle Vol. 12 presentation was on that exact status. Also, as organizer Ana Silva explains, “there [was] a blank slide, which was actually filled by an audience member doing a grand tamborine solo — hilarious…”
