Well, it appears that nature has intervened.
Sadly, Charles Weyer has had to withdraw from PechaKucha on 9 July because of an unforeseen family situation. Family comes first. Always. We wish him and his family all the best.
But, as often happens in the wild, when one fascinating creature disappears into the undergrowth, another emerges from the bushes.
Paula Quinsee, one of our speakers, has somehow managed to lure Themba-Robin onto our stage. He channels David Attenborough. I have seen him perform and he is gloriously strange, brilliantly observant and vrek funny. The kind of person who makes you wonder whether you've stumbled into a BBC nature documentary or a comedy show.
Imagine Attenborough narrating the curious mating rituals of suburban South Africans, office politics or the elusive parking spot at Sandton City.
That's the sort of delightful weirdness we're talking about.
If you'd like a small taste of what awaits you from Themba-Robin

He joins what is already shaping up to be a ridiculously good lineup.
Twenty slides. Twenty seconds each. No waffle. No selling.
Just people with ideas worth hearing.
See you on 9 July. Bring your curiosity. Leave your expectations at the door. https://www.quicket.co.za/events/370231-pechakuchanights-johannesburg-vol-42/?ref=link-campaign&lc=fb-event
