No artist should be heard from on his or her creative process before the age of 35, maybe 40. Pecha Kucha is proof of this. I went to the last Pecha Kucha event at that trust fund clubhouse of faux street cool, The Source. Other than spying some cute art-babes, I found the experience to be a complete, difficult to see, fairly inaudible, "um, um, um" infested yawner. I especially winced while one young woman tried to discuss her art school thesis project—a dress fashioned out of wood (I'm sure her parents are scratching their heads as they write another tuition check)—while the hipster audience just sipped wine and talked over her to each other. The scene was painful. My art cynic’s recommendation is to save your 30 kuai and watch a pirated DVD copy of 'Art School Confidential'.</p>
