PechaKucha Night Vol. 36

f8b2-170This month’s PechaKucha Night (Vol. 36) happens this week, and take note that it will be on Thursday night (September 28) and not the regular Wednesday.

Also, I’ll finally be doing a PechaKucha presentation at the end of October. I will do it with Jesper, at a special edition of PKN for Design Tide/Design UK — but they let us participate and we’ll be talking up our Swedish Style event at the cafe. It will happen Monday, October 30.

UpdateThe event runs from 19:00 to 23:00 and has an entry fee of 2500 yen.
