Cape lovers have Comic Con. Gamers have E3. And disciples of the Little Dragon have The Art of Action, a three-day event devoted to all things Bruce Lee.
The event—hosted by the Bruce Lee Foundation at the Sheraton Universal Hotel in Los Angeles—featured seminars, exhibits, guest speakers, a silent auction and bowling. Yes, you read that correctly. Bowling. Feel free to insert your own “fight without fighting” quip.
On the final night, the Foundation unveiled BLAM (Bruce Lee Action Museum) to the public for the first time.
The Bruce Lee bonanza took place November 13-15, 2009, and we were lucky enough be there to take pictures. Enjoy.
