Ignite is sort of some kind of cousin of Pecha Kecha. Like most distant kindof-relatives, we don’t really know each other at all, and we tend to have awkward first meetings over bad Potato Salad at events we both go to.
Pecha Kechu: “Hey, you’re uhh. The fire people right?”
Ignite: “Oh hey, you’re that ummm. I’m so Sorry. I really don’t place you. My fault.”
Pecha Kechu: “We’re Pecha Kecha, the original lightning presentation group.”
Ignite: “Yeah, hey! Keen.” *awkward half-hug* Good to see you. How are things?”
Pecha Kechu: “You know, collecting slides, getting presenters. The usual. We’re on June 13th.”
Ignite: “Here in Philly? Nice! Nice meeting you.” *awkward silence* “I’m going to get some cake! Txt me sometime.”
So, if you have a short attention span, and need a quick fix, Pecha Kechu #2, is on June 13 (7:30) at Studio 34 at 4522 Baltimore Avenue in West Philly (SEPTA’s Route 34). It’s a $5 suggested donation. And tell ‘em Ignite Philly sent you.

Pecha Kucha: “No, really — you should come on June 13, at least to hear the Wharton prof talk about “All I Need To Know I Learned from World of Warcraft.” Also, Studio 34 is neato keen. And hey, have you ever met Talk20? Maybe we can get them to come, too.”
