We went to the Pecha Kucha event at the House of Blues last night (read: Japanese for chit-chat), saw the presenters and socialized. There were about 500 or more people at the event, and about 15 APA members showed up. However, we met up with other people from 20/30, the Young Professional Senate, and some recent graduates as well. We went to Pickwick & Frolic after Pecha Kucha and celebrated Amelia Caldwell's birthday! Fun night!
