if you live in it, come to the SAT tonight for a pecha kucha night and watch me totally improvise a presentation about gamma, stereoscopy and games.

i promise nudity.

[G.D. Hamell]

But I want milk and cookies... but beer could suffice as well.

[The Ivy]

I heard about that thing. So it's open to the public then?

[fish]

it's exclusively for the public.
it's all public.

there's a 5$ cover for the time ever this time around.
but it's totally worth it.
you should come to the IGDA meeting at the same place tomorrow, too.

[The Ivy]

All right, I think you've made me an offer I can't refuse.

Plus, my membership card just arrived in the mail.

[Dragonmaw]

is this awesome nudity or gross old man nudity?

[GregWS]

Nudity eh?  What will you artsy Montrealers come up with next? 

So up until now the event has been free?  Crazy!  Edmonton has always been $5, which, given the caliber of the event, still seems like a steal to me.

And to everyone here, check here to see if your city is putting them on yet.  If so, then go, it's like the best idea for an event ever.

Because fish left it to the imagination, I'll ruin that and give the detailed description of Pecha Kucha: basically, powerpoint on crack; each presenter gets 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide (they're not in control of that, haha) to give their presentation and show off whatever design related project they've been working on lately.  Great fun, and you come away feeling like there are still people in the world with good ideas.  So even if you aren't convinced yet, just go anyway, you're sure to like at least a few of the presenters, and it's so fast that sitting through the lousy ones isn't much of a problem.

And if you like speaking in public, then see about doing a presentation on Independent Gaming at the PK night in your city, as most people know so little about it.

STEREOSCOPIC NUDITY!?
That sounds awesome.

[The Ivy]

I can confirm that there was steroscopic nudity. Except Phil was the only one with 3D glasses.

[ImaginaryThomas]

Despite this being the closest anything on this site has ever been to me it's still too far

[increpare]

I can confirm that there was steroscopic nudity. Except Phil was the only one with 3D glasses, but using his powers of telepathy he was able to directly pipe his 3d-glasses - augmented Phil Fish stereoscopic vision to the minds of all present.

Someday, Montreal.

Someday.
