Lebowski Fest 9 is in the books - or at least the card has been given to the league offices for final approval pending Smokey's appeal, of course. This year was full of ringer tossing, stranger finding and Liam loving. Then again, when is it not? The best part about Lebowski Fest and similar celebrations, though, is that at some point it's no longer about the bowling, the white Russians or even The Big Lebowski itself. It's just a bunch of people - devoid of pretense and pomp - accepting things as they are and [...]

now all that the hoopla over FORECASTLE, Lebowski fest and hullabaloo has subsided, i have been thinking about the quality of louisville fests, and our chances for a truly unstoppable louisville music fest. for a truly music loving town, i have always wondered why we haven't been able to come up with an annual fest that could stand up with national festivals. we have found a nitch with small unique annuals like LEBOWSKI FEST, ZOMBIE ATTACK, and SHOTGUN FEST, but we haven't yet found our sxsw . we definitely have the [...]

with all the hub bub of forecastle, another louisville favorite has gotten less press than normal, but it hardly needs any; lebowski fest has survived on die hard fans, and their flare for creative costumes, quotes, and love for milk & vodka. it all starts tonight! get your coffee can costumes and get out there!

It's not like Louisville's Lebowski Fest is hurting for media attention. It's become a well-documented phenomenon lo these past nine years.

So it's no surprise that ABC News/Dateline will be on hand to take in the what have you for the ninth annual Lebowski Fest. It's pretty encouraging to see that, even [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , Movies Even before My Morning Jacket created hit records, appeared in movies and played to huge crowds, they were Achievers. Not achievers, as in they were successful. We're talking about ' The Big Lebowski ' Achievers, the ever-growing legion of movie watchers who see the Dude as a deity, those who somehow envy the life of an unemployed slacker and apply Lebowski movie lines to every facet o life. "We've always loved that movie to [...]

Having gone to the 8th Annual Lebowski Fest in its mecca of Louisville, I was stoked that creators Will and Scott would be stopping in Philadelphia on the Speed of Sound tour - a cross country tour bringing all the things Lebowski to major cities including New York, Denver, Boston, Austin and many more. The two-day party started Friday at the Electric Factory with a performance by the semi-raucous Black Diamond Heavies and a very of the fest's namesake film. Typically a standing room only venue, the Electric Factory had set up row after row of plastic chairs [...]

Tonight marks the debut of Lebowski Fest Philadelphia. The Speed of Sound Tour lands tonight at the Electric Factory (7th & Callowhill) for the movie party, featuring performances by Black Diamond Heavies (a must see!) and The Pin Heads, Lebowski Fest creators Scott and Will. A screening of the movie will follow. The movie party is all ages (meaning slim to nil chances of any necessary White Russians) and doors are at 8:00. Admission is $20 ( get tickets! ) - come down for a good night of great music and [...]

Friday Night // Concert and Movie Viewing The Achievers (fans of The Big Lebowski ) trickled into the 8 th Annual Lebowski Fest's movie night on a humid Friday night in Louisville. Many were dressed in simple Achiever shirts while other, more fervent fans were dressed as characters (or even concepts) from the film. White Russian, beer and food stands lined the outside of the lawn as festival goers set up chairs to enjoy the evenings events including performances by local acts Whistle [...]

"This isn't 'Nam, Smokey. This is bowling. There are rules." - Walter from The Big Lebowski At Lebowski Fest , the traveling convention-like party that celebrates the cult comedy, the rules seem to be as follows: 1. White Russians (aka "Caucasians") must be consumed. 2. Bowling balls must be licked. 3. The word 'Dude' must be interjected as often as possible into conversation. The second night for Lebowski Fest in Seattle went off as planned, full of beards in bathrobes [...]
