<a href=3D"http://www.bruceleefoundation.org">Bruce Luce Carries On the=20=
Torch</a>, July 18-20th, cost varies. Seems that every teenage boy=
=20
has mimicked Bruce's moves in <i>Fists of Fury</i> and <i>Enter the=20
Dragon</i> with their own high-pitched screaming, flying karate chops,=20
and launches off the couch. =20
This group refocuses attention on Bruce's philosophies and teachings,=20
instead of Bruce the movie icon. Bruce's widow, daughter, and=20
former students kick (no pun intended) the festivities off. Events i=
nclude a limited=20
preview night, instructor summit, community meeting, anniversary=20
exhibit, screening of <i>Enter the Dragon</i>, and a cemetery memorial and=
=20
celebrity luncheon.</font></p>
<p><font size=3D"2"><b>Social</b>:
<a href=3D"http://www.theseattleantifreeze.com/event?id=3Dsurfer">Seattle=
=20
Anti-Freeze Bash</a>, July 19th, $34+. The old yarn about Seattle=20=
is, it's difficult to meet people and make new friends; we're famously=20
frosty to each other. This group breaks through the icy crust =
by hosting events=20
forcing us to mingle. For this event, they rent the boat, serv=
e=20
lunch, and take a spin around the lake. You get to see Bill Ga=
te's house=20
from the water again.</font></p>
<p><font size=3D"2"><b>Plants:</b>
<a href=3D"http://www.seattlechannel.org/news/detail.asp?ID=3D8593&Dept=3D=
14">
Carnivores of the Plant World</a>, July 19th, by donation. It's=20
not like the man-eating plants in sci-fi movies, but it's still=20
pretty darn cool. Learn about meat eating plants, watch carnivore=20=
feeding demonstrations, and participate in the question-and-answer=20
session. Then, go buy a Venus flytrap to eat up those pesky=20
summer flies.</font></p>
<p><font size=3D"2"><b>Opera:</b>
<a href=3D"http://www.seattleopera.org/calendar/event.aspx?eventDateID=3D1=
675">
Bravo Season Kick-Off Party</a>, July 17th, $10. Those swanky=20
young professionals at Bravo kick off the new opera season with a little=
=20
soir=E9e. Hear about the upcoming of the new season with the young=
=20
artists, and you may even be tempted to subscribe. </font></p>
<p><font size=3D"2"><b>Real Estate:</b>

D=3D173&EventID=3D67059&mo=3D7&tDate=3D{d '2008-07-10'}">
Q&A with Attorney General Rob McKenna</a>, July 24th, $15. The=
=20
state's top enforcer discusses the Distressed Property Law,=20
among other laws, of interest to real estate investors. What was=20
once a simple bill has became larded with complication, so the attorney=20=
general discusses his enforcement priorities.</font></p>
<p><font size=3D"2"><b>Spiritual</b>:
<a href=3D"http://www.seattleunity.org/events.html">Walk the Labyrinth</a>=
,=20
July 19th, free, but must pay with positive karma. Usually, a=20
labyrinth is a complex trap to get out of, but here, they convert it=20
into a spiritual tool, to help you walk in harmony with nature, both=20
with the planet and with your heart. Apparently, this involves=20
mediation, imagery of some sort of circle, and a spiral for meandering.&nb=
sp;=20
This all sounds like a pretty good mental trip.</font></p>
<p><font size=3D"2"><b>Treats:</b>
<a href=3D"http://www.issaquahchamber.com/calOfEvents/default.asp?id=3D185=
10&page=3DdisplayEvent">
Chocolate and Wine</a>, July 24th, $30, for a good summer activity. =
=20
The town of Issaquah holds a little party celebrating the quaintness of=20=
its little city with jazz, chocolates, and wine. Actually, pairing=
=20
wine with chocolate is as predictable as wine & cheese. Somebody=
=20
with some imagination should come up with something else, like a wine &=
;=20
salami sticks, or wine & flavored popcorn.</font></p>
<p><font size=3D"2"><b>Business:</b>
<a href=3D"http://www.pmcnw.org/events.php#event2">Take Charge of Your=20
Go-To-Market Skills</a>, July 23rd, $55. Business doesn't happen=20
until something is sold. This meeting reviews how to launch a=
=20
product, to introduce your great service or product to the market.&n=
bsp; Learn specific=20
steps to go from vision to action.</font></p>
<p><font size=3D"2"><b>Dancing:</b>
<a href=3D"http://www.seattlechannel.org/news/detail.asp?ID=3D8589&Dept=3D=
14">
Outdoor Dancing</a>, starting July 17th, free. Our good city=20
government is hosting outside dancing for the summer. Each night=20
begins with a one-hour lesson, followed by two hours of dancing. =20
On deck are blues, swing, salsa, zydeco, line dancing, waltz, and=20
country western.</font></p>
<p><font size=3D"2"><b>Group:</b> <a href=3D"http://www.seattlemobile.org/=
">
Seattle Mobile</a>, more of a networking group for those who are=20
involved in, or are interested, in mobile technologies. Usually,=20
it's attended by entrepreneurs, developers, and investors from the=20
mobile marketplace. Not sure if you should hug or smack these=20
folks. For everyone who's felt the dichotomy of the freedom of,=20
and being shackled by, a cell phone, well, this group wants to foster=20
even more always-with-you technology, no matter where you happen to go.</f=
