You say you can’t get enough of Michael Pollan? You’ve devoured this plainspoken hero’s books, one after the next, like intellectual bon bons. You’re working on following all of his foodie commandments. Tonight offers another chance for food-politics-obsessed Seattleites to swoon over Pollan: He’ll give a talk moderated by Warren Etheredge of the Warren Report. If the idea of chatting Pollan up at a cocktail party is worth a few extra greenbacks to you, call Bastyr for info on attaining access to the prefunk. 6:30 p.m. VIP cocktail reception ($85) precedes 7:30 p.m. event ($50).
