PechaKucha: Making It

Date: 

Fri, 09/19/2014 - 18:30

Tarantula mating is dicey business: the female is as likely to attack and eat the male as she is to open her jade gates to his sword of love. Hilltromper contributor Brendan Bane, tarantula enthusiast and evolutionary biology student at UCSC, tells us all about it at tonight's PechaKucha event: "Making It."

What, exactly, does "Making It" mean? Something different to everyone. We'll hear from woodprint artist Bridget Mary Henry, Ventana surfboard shaper Martijn Stiphout, MAH curator Justin Charles Hoover, Day Worker Center organizer Mireya Gomez-Contreras and a handful of other community luminaries—all speaking in PechaKucha's famed 6-minute slideshow format.

Coffee Zombie Collective performs. Show up early — they expect to sell out!

Museum of Art and History, 705 Front St, Santa Cruz. 6:30pm (doors open at 5pm; ticket sales start at 4pm). $5.
