How kick ass is this? On March 25th and 26th of 2005 there is gonna be a Lebowski Fest right here in LA. For those wondering what the hell a Lebowski Fest is, well having never been to one I can only go to the website's definition of what one is: "Lebowski Fest is a bowling event celebrating all things relating to the Coen Brothers 1998 film, The Big Lebowski. It can be likened to a Star Trek convention in a sense. The event takes place at a bowling alley and includes unlimited bowling, costume contest, trivia, farthest traveled, and bowling contests, prizes, and what-have-you." (from the FAQ on the site) I got on their mailing list so I can try to get tickets when they go on sale (which they say should be in early 2005) so if anyone is interested, let me know.
By the way, for anyone who notices that the Fest takes place on a Saturday and is worried about bowling on Shomar Shabbos, according to the site: "We wouldn't dream of offending Walter in this manner so we arranged to start the event after sunset. Shabbos ends on Saturday at sunset."
