I’m a Lebowski, you’re a Lebowski

Lebowski Fest LA is coming back Oct. 12th and 13th so get your robes and gel sandals ready.

The first night will include bands, book signings, and a screening of the movie at the echoplex in Echo Park. The bowling event will be on the 13th at the Cal Bowl.

There isn’t any information yet on the bands that will be playing on the 12th, but last year when I went we were graced with the presences of Edie McClurg (A small wonder/Ferris bueller’s day off) playing the spoons! I did show up late and it looks like we did miss Peter Stormare (Fargo/Constantine) rock out which I will not miss again. I had no idea he had a band until today and I’m kinda pissed I missed it, the band actualy sounds good.

In any case if you have never been and are a fan of the movie the Lebowski Fest is worth going to. It’s a great gathering of people who like to have a good time and “take er easy”.

In other Lebowski news there is a book out in August called I’m a Lebowski, you’re a Lebowski that will be signed at the Fest. The book has a forward by Jeff Bridges, interviews with members of the cast and even interviews with the inspirations for the two main characters Jeff Dowd (The Dude) and John Milius (Walter) and is available for pre-order.

And last but not leas t in the Uber Lebowski update is the new Toys! The bobble heads will be premiering at this years Comic-con and the “Action Figures” will be coming out later.
