For those of you who remember my posts from the early Emmis days, there was a spate of food-related bets from about 2005 – 2007.
The biggest one though, was the Vending Machine Challenge, undertaken by the fearless Anthony DeMoon.
Here’s me talking about a particular moment from back in 2005. I’ll keep this a secret until the video’s available, but maybe some of you might know what this is about.
Once again, I get to join a ton of super creative Chicago folks for 20×2, an event where 20 of us all have to answer the same question in 2 minutes or less.
Everyone who participated got to answer the question however they saw fit, but had to follow one rule: answer in two minutes or less. I had a blast presenting, and really enjoyed all the varied answers. Below, I’m including video of my talk (along with a few favorites).
Come join me and 19 other creatives on Friday, for the next installment of 20×2 Chicago! All 20 of us are given the exact same question – this time, the prompt is “Where Do We Start?”
We can choose to answer this question in any way that we want (slideshow, music, video, interpretive dance). The only rule: we have to answer in 2 minutes or less.
Super excited to share the news that I’ll be presenting at a special 20×2 On Tour, in a few weeks! There’s a new venue (the Upstairs lounge at the Virgin Hotel Chicago), and not one but two different shows, back to back!
I decided to base my answer by using some of what I learned from my Underviewed project. Back when I was more actively sharing links, I kept a spreadsheet of interesting videos I’d come across.
I think it’s a funny thing, me wanting to do this sort of thing. By all measurements, I’m a huge HUGE introvert. I’d rather be at home alone, pecking away at my keyboard, than out at a bar around people. But for whatever reason, I really like the idea of getting up on a stage, and talking to a large group of strangers.
