The Magic of Model Railroading - A Pecha Kucha Talk


On Friday, June 5, 2020, I, along with several others, will present Pecha Kucha talks for the Alexandria chapter of Pecha Kucha.  What is Pecha Kucha you ask?

PechaKucha’s 20x20 presentation format shows your 20 chosen images, each for 20 seconds. In other words, you've got 400 seconds to tell your story, with visuals guiding the way. PechaKucha means "chit chat" in Japanese. This creative outlet began as nighttime get-togethers in Tokyo in 2003 by two renowned architects. Since then, three million people have attended PechaKucha events worldwide.

My subject is called, "The Magic of Model Railroading." It fits the theme of this years meet, "I Made This."  My brother is also slated to do a talk on Bonsai trees, while a neighbor is doing a talk on the poetry wall she created.

The June 5 meet was supposed to be a live gathering. But, with the pandemic concerns, the organizers moved it a Zoom style meet. Attending is free, but they do ask visitors to register before they get a Zoom link. Here is the registration link https://bit.ly/PechaKuchaAlexandriaVol-4 



They are not charging admission like they would normally, but are asking for donations for the PechaKucha organization: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pechakucha-alexandria-online-tickets-106101297838?aff=ebdssbeac

It should be a fun evening.
