We have found that PechaKucha Night Cleveland always makes for an enjoyable time. (See our past blog post about PechaKucha Night outdoors at the 2nd largest theatre district in the USA.) The evening of interesting talks at interesting locations sometimes also leads to other fun activities -- post-PechaKucha dancing, entrance to private clubs, meeting new people, etc. Thus, we were excited to attend PechaKucha Night Cleveland's August 23, 2013, outdoor event behind the West Side Market in Cleveland's Ohio City.
We knew that the PechaKucha Night organizers were expecting a large crowd, so we came early to enjoy a dinner at Great Lakes Brewing Company before the festivities began. We later learned that Great Lakes Brewing Company was one of the sponsors of the event, and would have been the rain location. Stuart had been to the Great Lakes Brewing Company's Beer Cellar before, but nether of us had eaten at their Brewhouse. Seeing their location from the outside many times, we had not realized their Brewpub is made up of many different venues. When checking in, we learned that we were eligible for a Great Lakes Brewing Company's Foursquare Check-in Special. What a great way to start our evening!
Heading over to PechaKucha, we saw Market Garden Brewery's "Before I Die, I Want To..." wall. We were familiar with the "Before I Die" global art project (BeforeIDie.cc - @BeforeIDieWall) and had heard there was a Cleveland wall, but had never seen it. Somehow, it was a perfect fit with spirit of the night, since PechaKucha Night Cleveland presenters often share their life passions. Market Garden Brewery was one of the sponsors, and provided beverages for the PechaKucha Night Cleveland Volume 19 event.
