http://www.lebowskifest.com/ I have been on the Lebowski Fest mailing list for a few years. Today they sent an email out confirming that there will be a fest in Austin this year on May 19-20. Tickets will go on sale in March. The fests started in Louisville, in 2002, and have grown into a yearly event held in Louisville, New York, LA, Las Vegas and now Austin. They have a screening of the film, free bowling, actors from the film, White Russians, Sarsparillas, and other what-have-you. Usually Jeff Dowd, who was the real-life inspiration for "The Dude" is in attendance. Next month in LA, they even have a band performing as Autobahn, and Peter Exline, who was the inspiration for Walter.
Perfect! That's the weekend my wife's best friend graduates from UT and it's also my wife's b-day! Woohoo!
I am amazed that others seem to love the movie like I do. Every year it seems more and more people see the light..
Do they require a deposit? I'll talk to the girl & make sure we don't have anything going on that weekend, try to call the place tomorrow. I'm off to Austin, have a good weekend (keep an eye on Dr. R tonight ).
Let me tell you something, bendeco. You pull any your crazy **** with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you and stick it up your @ss and pull the f#cking trigger til it goes "click".
