 | Pecha Kucha Night The Steel Yard, Providence, RI July 27, 2011 It was one of those perfect summer nights: cool, dry weather, rubber monsters running around, a geodesic dome with a deejay, and 100+ friends hanging around a bunch of pods erected for the Wooly Fair. It was also a rare moment of public speaking for Jennifer and we think she did a fine job. Plus, she didn't pee herself out of nervousness so that's a plus. Thanks to everyone that came out!
