Richmond is a chatty town, by which I mean you can't swing a dead flying squirrel without hitting a lecture or town square or panel discussion upside the head. Or mouth.
One of the more refreshing events hosted by and for the chattering class is the Creative Change Center's (C3) Talk 20 event, which gives a handful of creatives just under seven minutes to talk about what they do -- each speaker shows 20 slides representing their work and has 20 seconds per slide to talk.
I managed to get to the first half of C3's first Talk 20 event last fall, and loved it. Looking at the line-up for the second Talk 20 event on February 10 makes me even more excited.

Make plans now to get your Talk 20 on. It happens from 5:30 until 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 10, at 1708 Gallery. It's free, and you'll be able to buy yourself a beer at the cash bar.
