PechaKucha Cleveland Vol.9

PechaKucha Cleveland
September 24, 2010 8:20 pm – 10:45 pm

at Subway/Streetcar Level of the Detroit Superior Bridge (Veteran's Memorial Bridge)
FREE
Entrance Marked on Map Below (Enter from the parking lot of County Engineer's Offices)

Join us for PechaKucha Night Cleveland's THIRD Ingenuity Fest PKN in the Catacombs and Entire Span of the Subway/Streetcar Level of the Detroit Superior Bridge. On Friday, September 24th, 2010, at 8:20pm, PechaKucha Night Cleveland - Volume 9 helps kick off the weekend long Ingenuity Fest (http://ingenuitycleveland.com/)

One of the main entrances, and location of PechaKucha Night, is located in the Northeastern parking lot at the Cuyahoga County Engineers Office (on the Superior Viaduct "across" from SPACES Gallery).

While presentations do not start until 8:20pm, we encourage you to show up at least an hour early to experience all that the 3112 foot long bridge , built in 1918, has to offer. 14 local creatives will present their work, ideas, and obsessions in a series of short presentations on art, fashion, food, architecture, film, furniture, music, and photography. Space will be tight so be sure to come early and enjoy a few beverages prior to being inspired, influenced, confused, provoked, and probably slightly intoxicated by the wonderfully variegated topic mix. Keep an eye on the list of presenters - we will be updating it over the next few weeks.
DONT FORGET TO INVITE FRIENDS! :)

If you are interested in presenting at a future PechaKucha Night, have a venue idea, or just questions in general, please contact us at pkncleveland@gmail.com.

See ya on the 24th!

Cheers,
Mike Christoff & Raseem Parker pkncleveland@gmail.com
