I couldn't wait any longer so I threw my own lebowski fest in the fall of 04.. it was a lot of fun.. everybody dressed up.. i must have made like 200 white russians.. (i guess my signature could have clued you in)
You can't have an authentic Lebowski-Fest without a bunch of roach smoking. The White Russians are a start, though. One particular event I would hold at such a festival is...find the same make/model/year car he drove in the movie and have drivers attempt to drive around while smoking a "loose" roach where the cherry has to fall out at some point on the driver's lap while he's driving. Then, a specially located camera will take a snapshot of you fumbling around while your trying to put the lit cherry out and any burns that it may have caused on you or your seating. This is a Lewbowski-Fest...all semblances of sanity should be checked at the door.
I've always thought they should do a sequel movie starring Jesus Quintana. I wonder how many guys go the the fest dressed as Jesus?
that was a freaking blast! the only thing disappointing about the costume contest was that there were NO jesuses (jesi?) i didn't see any rockets gear there either...
