\"MattI think it’s safe to say that Volume 01 of Pecha Kucha Night<\/a> in Montreal was a great success. Everybody had a great time, saw something new and interesting, and Boris<\/a> got to stretch out his stage legs a bit. The full speakers list is up at montreal.pecha-kucha.ca<\/a> and I’ve put the photos that actually turned out up on my Flickr<\/a>. It was certainly an educational evening for me as I tried learning my new camera on the fly while keeping an eye on the Keynote slideshow. You can tell which shots were taken later in the evening as I started to figure out the appropriate settings.<\/p>\n

Huge props to Boris for all the work in putting this together, the SAT <\/a>for helping us out on the space, and MocoLoco<\/a> for sponsoring, and of course the speakers for their presentations. (Also, Boris wants everybody to know that Laika<\/a> is his second home.)<\/p>\n

I started trying to do this because I wanted to attend such an event. Boris’ return to Montreal was perfect timing to get it off the ground and there’s not a hope it would have happened without him. I’ve been slammed with a pre-Alpha then Alpha milestone schedule at work and before I knew it things magically started to coalesce. I tracked down a few speakers, did some promotional work and other odds and ends, but Boris made the magic happen. When it was all said and done I think the speakers felt they had participated in a really solid event, we had a lot of fun, and everybody started talking about the next one right away. Along the way it went from an event I wanted to attend to a thing I can’t imagine not doing.<\/p>\n
