Lebowski Fest - LA 2005
2005-03-26
In 1998 the Coen brothers made a deeply funny -- and funnily enough, rather deep -- sendup of film noir standards called The Big Lebowski. Jeff Bridges led a marvelous cast as "the Dude," a stoner/slacker/bowler mistaken for a corrupt tycoon and pursued by a posse of nihilists.In recent years, the film's vivid characters have taken on a new life offscreen. Fans gather at "Lebowski fests" to assume the roles and souls of the vitriolic Walter Sobchak, the ill-fated Donny, Jesus Quintana, Maude Lebowski and all manner of minor players.
Here's video from first 2002 fest.
This year it is finally in LA, where it should be. so anyone in the range of the "sound of my voice" go down and bowl a few, have a drink, maybe a smoke, and trade deep thoughts this weekend. you will DEFINITELY find me there next year.
Enjoy!
