Just as Justin Nathanson’s amazing rage against death/circle of life film was spooling out, I got the back of neck tingle that I associate with hitting my creative stride/sweet spot. I realized just how happy I am these days consulting with great clients; sharing what they are doing with the rest of the world.
Pecha Kucha Charleston took place on Wednesday evening at Memminger Auditorium. The gathering reflected almost every creative art that I know of. I saw friends, some of whom are poets, painters, architects, graphic designers, software engineers and web developers, chefs and musicians eagerly chatting and chowing down on the tasty bites from the super talented Trident Technical College’s Culinary Arts program.
It was clear that there is much energy and joie de vivre when creative types mix brains and cocktails or in this case beer. We all work in silos, separated, and apart. Events like Pecha Kucha bring us together, out of our studios, out from behind our monitors, away from our blank white sheets of paper to cross-pollinate and believe that our creativity will change the world.
