Dining Downtown

We will have a few snacks on hand, but if you think you may be hungry, there are plenty of spots to dine that are near the The Union. Right next door are two spots, Tuscan Blu and Jibarra. Across the street is The Pit, and around the corner you can find Humble Pie and BrewMasters. 

Parking

There is a free parking lot right out front of The Union. See the map. Or you can park downtown and take the eco-friendly R-LIne. It stops right outside of the parking area on W. Davie Street. The R-Line runs every 15 minutes, and on Wednesday it runs 7am to 11pm. 


We will have 2 short breaks and an Intermission where the talented Kim Arrington, International Singer-Songwriter and part of The Art of Cool Project, will sing a few love-inspired songs.

Yelp will be there with games and prizes, and we'll have a few giveaways and surprises to keep things interesting. We will be on-air streaming live via our Ustream PKN Raleigh channel.

What is Pecha Kucha Night? PechaKucha (pronounced roughly: pe-chak-cha) is the Japanese word for chit-chat. But think of it as a way to share powerful ideas in a fast-paced, high-energy manner: 20 slides presented for 20 seconds each. That’€™s 6 minutes and 40 seconds to get your point across. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
