Lebowski Fest is a celebration of all things related to the 1998 Coen brothers cult comedy, "The Big Lebowski." Fans of the film (aka "Achievers") come from far and wide to drink white Russians,
throw some rocks and party with an array of Dudes, Walters and Maudes
(not to mention a nihilist or two). It's a two-day party that typically
opens with live performances and
screening of the film the first night and concludes with a raucous
bowling party the following night. The First Annual Lebowski Fest was
in 2002 in Louisville, but subsequent fests have been held in New York,
Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, Austin, Seattle, London
and Edinburgh. While the Coen brothers continue to maintain a safe
distance from the madness they created, the fest has earned the
blessing of the Dude himself, Jeff Bridges, who attended the fest in L.A. and even stuck around to sing a few songs. Check out photos from past fests, and click here find out when Lebowski Fest might be coming to a city near you
