My other posts about Pecha Kucha can be found here and here. Without further ado here is information on the last half of the presentations: Lisa Dillman / Food Writer / The Dinner Process – Lisa wasn’t always a waitress. At one time she used to sit in a cubicle creating PowerPoint presentations. Her presentation… Continue reading Pecha Kucha Night Part 3

Pecha Kucha Night Part 2
The first part of my post about Pecha Kucha Volume 7 in Columbus can be found here. Soon Part 3 will be posted. One of the wonderful things about Pecha Kucha Night is the variety in the presenters. Even people who have the same profession approach similar topics differently. Some of the presenters seemed more… Continue reading Pecha Kucha Night Part 2
Pecha Kucha Night Part 1
I spent the evening at Landmark’s Gateway Theater for Pecha Kucha Night. It was my first time at the event and I wasn’t sure what to expect. It seems the format for the evening is always the same but the venue and presenters change the audience. Some people were dressed up and others were in… Continue reading Pecha Kucha Night Part 1
Stephenie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn
I read in a Yahoo headline there was going to be a party and a midnight release for Breaking Dawn, the last book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. In my head I made a connection between midnight movie premieres and midnight book release parties (I think they were started with the Harry Potter… Continue reading Stephenie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn

Terry Moore
The creator of Strangers in Paradise and Echo was here last Thursday as part of the events surrounding the Jeff Smith exhibit at The Wexner Center. Initially I liked Strangers in Paradise because the women looked real and their story was interesting. I wasn’t really into superheros anymore and had long given up my fantasy… Continue reading Terry Moore
Jeff Smith

Show openings are… Continue reading Jeff Smith
Milos Forman
I know… I know… as you’re reading this you are probably wondering if I ever go to any author readings or if I’m just on the sidelines when movie directors come to town. As a matter of fact, I get to do both; I just haven’t been to an author reading in a while. Last… Continue reading Milos Forman
David Gordon Green
Last Friday (a week ago) I attended a screening of Snow Angels where the director, David Gordon Green, introduced the film and then took questions afterwards. I often recommend his movie, Undertow, to other writers that want to get into a literary frame of mind. Snow Angels is based on the novel of the same name written by Stewart O’Nan. … Continue reading David Gordon Green
