# Make PowerPoint even more painful with Portland Presentation Karaoke

\[HTML1\]What could possibly make presenting a PowerPoint presentation even more painful? How about presenting off the cuff in front of a crowd without ever having seen the slides? With content that covers who knows what?

Oh my. It’s almost as bad as karaoke. Well, in fact, it is karaoke. [Presentation Karaoke](http://www.presokaraoke.com/ "Presentation Karaoke"). And it’s happening tonight at 7 at the [Someday Lounge](http://maps.google.com/places/us/portland/nw-5th-ave/125/-someday-lounge "Someday Lounge") in Portland.

> Imagine that you’re delivering a presentation about a subject for which you have no experience, with slides you’ve never seen, to a boisterous audience of hecklers. Make it a competition with other presenters who are in the same boat and you have Presentation Karoake. Thankfully, the well stocked bar at Someday Lounge can provide a little liquid courage before you take the stage.

But wait. It gets worse. You’re going to be judged on your performance by [Amber Case](http://twitter.com/caseorganic "Amber Case"), [Cami Kaos](http://twitter.com/camikaos "Cami Kaos"), and [yours truly](http://twitter.com/turoczy "Rick Turoczy").

That’s right! It’s like corporate meetings and annual reviews all tied into one.

So if you’re brave enough, come on down to the Someday Lounge and try your hand at wowing the crowd and the judges with your predilection for presentation. Or just head down to hang out and heckle.

Because we’ve all seen folks flounder in front of PowerPoint. But this time, it’s intentional.
