All Over Albany

PechaKucha at the Opalka Gallery

The local PechaKucha series will be at the Opalka Gallery on the Sage Albany campus this Friday night. Lineup blurbage for the very short talks:

Tom Crowell from Chatham Brewing is bringing beer and will talk about it too!

Molly Belmont, "Job/History" - Molly has had over 35 jobs since the age of 8; she'll tell us about the 20 most memorable

Greg Dahlmann from AllOverAlbany.com will talk about how to be a more effective complainer

Tom Stebbins from the Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York on why we need Tort Reform in New York State

Chet Boehlke Jr, "The Way I See It" (a study of the world through my photographic eye)

Branson Quenzer takes us to China for "Dynamic Perspectives from a Culture with a Relative View of Itself as Opposed to Absolutism"

Kate Cohen gets biblical with "My Passover Seder"

Clifford Oliver presents the history of his family, the "Baltimores of Troy" - a 19th century African American family well on their way to prosperity

George Guarino, "Cause Persistence" - on creating artwork that causes the viewer to become persistent in achieving their goals

Yep, Greg is going to attempt to argue that we should all complain (and compliment) more often (if perhaps a bit differently). Looking forward to the complaints about that.

The event starts Friday, March 20 at 6:30 pm with beer and snacks. Talks start at 7 pm. It's free.

Photo Regional
If you're near the Opalka Gallery -- like, say, for an event Friday night -- it's a good chance to take some time to check out the 37th Annual Photography Regional. It's also free.
