After a legendary 2-night run in Los Angeles, that included re-enactments by stars from the film, a video greeting from Jeff Bridges, a performance by 9-year-old guitar prodigy Yuto, and roughly 2,500 Los Angeles Achievers, Lebowski Fest is loading up the ‘Speed of Sound’ tour bus and hitting the road.
In addition to the previously announced West Coast dates, Lebowski Fest will be spreading the gospel of The Dude in Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, the DC area, and Austin.
The Fest
“What do you do for recreation?” Julianne Moore’s character Maude Lebowski asks The Dude in the film. “Oh, the usual,” The Dude responds. “I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.” Lebowski Fest organizers have not strayed very far from that formula – much to the delight of Festival attendees. ‘Achievers’ are regaled with two nights of events: live music and a screening of the movie on the first night, followed by an evening of bowling, replete with wild costumes, trivia contests, unlimited bowling, White Russians, and what-have-you.
