Pecha Kuchas: Cultural Preservation Society or Secret Eradication Ring?
By Curtis Slideshow
BOZEMAN — Twice a year, hundreds gather at The Ellen Theatre for Pecha Kucha nights, those rapid-fire slideshow presentations where locals share ideas, dreams, and occasionally, just photos of their dog in a canoe. On the surface, it's a wholesome community event. But several "unverified but extremely confident" sources suggest something far more sinister may be at work.
The so-called Bozeman Cultural Preservation Society (BCPS), allegedly a covert collective of developers, lifestyle influencers, and one architect with round glasses, may be using these events to identify and eliminate Bozeman's remaining pockets of authentic culture.
"How else do you explain that every time someone does a talk about an old neighborhood café, it gets turned into a coworking hub six months later?" said one anonymous presenter.
Rumors claim each Pecha Kucha slideshow is analyzed by BCPS data scientists. The more "real" a story sounds, old ski culture, funky dive bars, pre-Subaru Main Street, the faster the bulldozers roll in.
At this rate, insiders fear, the only Pecha Kuchas left will be about Pecha Kucha, proudly sponsored by a luxury athleisure brand.
