Lebowski Fest

The Annual (5th? 6th? whatever) Lebowski Fest kicks off on Friday, October 12, at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. Bowling will commence on Saturday evening at the Cat Bowl in Lakewood. A souvenir book will be available for purchase.

A Sunday tour of Lebowski sites is fully booked, alas. But you can visit Dinah's (off the 405 in Culver City) on your own, whenever you like--what do you need a tour group for?

Ceremonially swathe your toe in bandages and sit in a booth, order pigs-in-a-blanket (or fried chicken), and secretly enjoy the thrill. Or have an acid flashback; the choice is yours.
