Hey Big Apple readers! This weekend is one of the several Lebowski Fests of the year, this one at The Knitting Factory - Cozy Bowl in NYC.
From the Lebowski Fest FAQ:
What exactly is Lebowski Fest?
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 very loose sense. The event takes place at a bowling alley and includes unlimited bowling, costume , trivia, farthest traveled, and bowling contests, prizes, and what-have-you. The friend of the Coen Brothers who inspired the main character played by Jeff Bridges, Jeff "The Dude" Dowd has been known to make an appearance and drink some White Russians.
I've been a fan of the Coen Brothers fils ever since their film noir-ish debut Blood Simple back in 1984. "You Know, For Kids!" gets its name from another Coen project, The Hudsucker Proxy, and has lots of great background on all films Coen.
