Can't Miss It: Thanksgiving Eve
Alice Cooper was right about one thing: school was out for summer. But his corollary argument was faulty: school need not be out forever.
Seattle is chock full of ways for you to go back to school this fall -- without committing yourself to earning some kind of degree or piling up decades worth of student loans. If there's something you want to do, there's probably someone in Seattle who'll feed you for a lifetime.

Tango classes for "absolute beginners." Started Sept. 5, but maybe you can still get in. (206) 781-9553
Learn to fence. Again, classes started last night, but maybe you can plead your case.
Aspire to foodiehood and learn culinary techniques. Classes start Sept. 7.
Further fancy up your footwork with balboa, the Lindy hop, salsa, advanced tango, swing, or West Coast swing. Classes start the week of Sept. 10.
Tap into your inner dominatrix. Women only. Sept. 10.

It's all in one annoying-to-link-to PDF. Classes start in October.
Whenever:
Punk rock yoga. 'Nuff said.
Become Seattle's answer to Ken Burns . . . or Ed Wood.
