Hey, New Yorkers! For those of you to whom the Coen Brothers comedy classic The Big Lebowski is more a lifestyle than a movie, LebowskiFest is coming to your town this weekend. Sure, it's the ultimate celebration of Los Angeles, but that doesn't mean you can't still have a good time. This is the seventh year the slackmeisters behind LebowskiFest have thrown their weekend tribute to all things Dude-ish, and a White-Russian-swilling, Brunswick-pin-crashing good time is guaranteed for all.
According to the official LebowskiFest website, LFNY08 will be held in Manhattan at the Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza (for the movie party on the 15th) and Lucky Strike Lanes (for the bowling party on the 16th). Your $20 gets you a concert by CCR tribute act Creedence Clearwater Revival Revival and heavy metal Bee Gees cover band Tragedy; an interpretation of Marty's dance cycle by Paul Green, the man who inspired School of Rock; and, of course, a screening of The Big Lebowski. The bowling party is sold out, but there will be a few tickets released at the door for lanes, costume contests, trivea, and other amusements as well as the after-party at Beauty Bar on East 14th Street.
