Oh...Pecha kucha -- pronounced pet-shah coot-shah -- is an onomatopoeic Japanese phrase meaning "the sound of casual chatter."

"The key to the success of the Pecha Kucha evenings springing up across the world over the last two years -- they now exist in around 30 cities, from Bogota to Buffalo -- is simplicity. Participants get a six-minute pitch in which they can show 20 slides, and talk for 20 seconds about each one."Plan to be there. Here's the Wired review...
"The problem: How do you get a bunch of visual visionaries -- many of them isolated, introverted, self-employed people who tend to hunch all day behind their computers -- out into meatspace, communicating, drinking, networking? The solution: Give them a format, a structure, a parlor game, a chance to talk about their current interests and listen to others doing the same."
