Thanks to all who came out for Pecha Kucha 18. What beautiful evening under the canopy of trees in Wragg Square, and what an inspiring evening thanks to our fantastic speakers. Here is a PKN18 recap in images. Special thanks to our photographer for the evening Clay Austin. To view all of the images from Pecha Kucha 18, go to our Flickr album.
Behold, the Pecha Kucha 18 Poster. Designed by: Buff Ross (thank you Buff!).

Times: Doors open @ 7:00, Show starts @ 8:00 (ish)
Parking: There are metered spots along all streets in the area. There are also paid lots and garages close by.
Entrance: On Meeting Street between Charlotte Street & Ashmead Place
Concessions: CASH ONLY. Beers from Palmetto Brewing & wines from Wine Awesomeness. $5 each. Wood fired personal pizzas from Coastal Crust.
Tunes: DJ Natty Heavy
*VERY IMPORTANT* 2nd Presbyterian has granted us the rights to use their property. We spent weeks working with them on how we could pull this off. A very important caveat to their allowing us use is that NO ALCOHOL IS ALLOWED ON THEIR PROPERTY. See the map for details. Basically the bluestone walks in front of the Church and the portico (Stage) are sacred ground. People and speakers are allowed to congregate here, but may not transport or consume any alcohol on the Church property. This is a very serious condition of our use. Please, please, please help us to uphold this request. Guests who violate this condition will be escorted off premises by our hired Police Officers. But, those standing/sitting a little farther back in Wragg Sq., and not on Church property, can still see/hear the speakers and enjoy their adult beverage. Thank you.
