Killer.
Inspiration much?
Holy cow.
The Talk 20 (Pecha Kucha) discussion and presentations at Artcite tonight were unreal.
Jodi Green is responsible for having held this, and I’m extremely grateful that she bothered to ask me to participate.
How awesome was it? Well, I knew it was going to be so stellar (I was so confident, in fact) so I brought my Flip video camera and videotaped it.
Here are ALL six of the 6-minute-and-forty-second presentations.
If you weren’t there, you can learn about what went on and who is behind some of the exciting things happening in the city. Also, if you weren’t there, you missed the opportunity to meet WAY MORE active people than I that were in the crowd. That is the magic benefit that’s valuable as heck when you ATTEND something like this.
Look for more of these talks, and for more great projects driving Windsor into new times.
SO FANTASTIC! The speeches say it all. Really.
Mita Williams – (Leddy Library, University of Windsor): “The City as Playground”
Rod Strickland – ((Professor, School of Visual Arts, University of Windsor)): “Open Corridor”
Tom Lucier – me – “No More Bemoaning: Growing Windsor’s Creative Class”
Pina and Adriano Ciotoli (co-owners, WindsorEats.com): “Eat Your City”
Andrew Foot (InternationalMetropolis.com): “Architectural Desecration”
Justin Langlois (MFA Candidate in Visual Arts, University of Windsor): “How to Fix the City: Social Practice in Windsor”

Absolutely copy them and post them!!! For sure!
Darren can I post your photos on the site and link to you?
Tom, love to embed your preso on my blog… where can I grab some embed code?
Awesome presentation!!!
Tom, thanks so much for recording video of the event! I was so wired I almost didn’t even remember to get my camera out and take photos. Man, Phog was abuzz with all kinds of exciting discussion afterwards.
One thing, though: you accidentally cut-and-pasted Justin’s info in for Rod. Rod’s an instructor, not a master’s candidate, and his presentation title was “Open Corridor”.
sure pina, you can use the photo i took of the hockey tournament i shot yesterday too if you want.
You rock for taping these Tom.
You rock for watching these Andrew.
