PECHA KUCHA

Here are some photos from Pecha Kucha on thursday. There were 12 great, fun, warm, funny and strong speakers. And for me, nice to be out and about again, and to be hosting :)

This is me in a woolly purple dress which I've "inherited" from my cousin.
And then comes the speakers...

PECHA KUCHA - TONIGHT!

Tonight we're hosting the last Pecha Kucha this year. I'm really looking forward to it, as I skipped the previous one, as it was so close after Ada's birth.
But today I'm so looking forward to hosting and presenting again, see familiar faces, listen to the talks and get a dose of inspiration.

Here's a picture from an earlier Pecha Kucha, where the very colourful and inspiring designer Ingunn Birkeland spoke. Her talk was really inventive; she dressed in one of her creations, brought a couple of hand-painted chairs on stage, some cava for us to drink, and invited me up to "interview her" with a manuscript she had already written. It was super funny.

And that's exactly what we're looking for when we invite people to talk... That they think of creative ways to share their stories within the very tight format of 20 slides.

Pecha Pecha Pecha

Last week it was Pecha Kucha in Oslo, and Kasper and I were hosting as usual. Here we're photographed by Knut Bry.

Me, with a big belly - and this was exactly 2 years after my lovely boyrfriend Espen picked me up in this venue, at a Pecha Kucha Night :)

It was also Kasper's birthday this evening, so I luckily fund a huge bouquet of balloons and gave them to him on stage!

Knut Bry is the most faithful of everyone in the Pecha audience. We love him for always coming to the events, for taking pictures and for always having lots of good ideas on who would suit on the Pecha-stage!
