Lebowski Fest ?! Makes me wish I was in Los Angeles


I guess this is officially a cult movie. A picture from prior fests:


Bowling, nihilism (nothing to be afraid of really) and a rug that really tied the room together.

1. The Dude abides.
I'll bet that's going to be a blast. I might make it...

But only if I can be Bunny. :evilgrin:

Now go find a cash machine.

2. You can! At least two people came as her cut off toe
One came as the Creedence tape, the kid's homework, the rug, etc.

Great costume pics here (these people are into it):

3. I almost bought an authentic "The Dude" outfit on Ebay
But gave up when it went up over $200. It was his Salvation Army button-up sweater and loose pants bowling ensemble. It probably would have been a good investment in retrospect. I would definitely go to the fest if I could get out there.

7. I just loved how the only line the dude said to Donny was
when the dudes phone was ringing after the drop went bad.

Donny: Phones ringin' dude

Dude: Thank you Donny

That's all the dude ever said to Donny. Walter on the other hand is a different story all together.

8. I'd go as Karl Hungus
when he's in character as the cable guy. That's if I lived anywhere near LA, which I don't. Ah well.
