The other night I headed out with Karl to catch Volume 2 of Pecha Kucha at the DIA. There were well over 200 people in attendance, and the presentations did not disappoint. Of particular interest was the work of Neil Greenberg, who has created a huge map of a fake city dubbed “Fake Omaha.” He was welcoming suggestions for a catchier name, and during the intermission I heard someone ask, “Why not just Fauxmaha?” The next Pecha Kucha is scheduled for the Spring — and I’m already anticipating.
Also included in the evening’s activities was a journey to the men’s restroom at the Cass Cafe. I’ve now shot video of two separate men’s restroom’s adornments — and I’m thinking if I keep this up, I could probably string together a lengthier video with some interesting edits. This one’s rather choppy and unclear for reading – but still – I like the squiggles and whatnots. Apparently the Cass Cafe was awarded the 2008 Metro Times Best Bathroom Graffiti award — I would’ve handed it to the WAB.
