Comments Are Closed! Thanks for playing.

It’s almost here, Geeks. Lebowski Fest Philadelphia. We’ve been working with LiveNation and the Lebowski Fest founders this year to make this one hell of a fun event. Over the next few days expect a bunch of ticket giveaways to pop up on other local blogs, some fun posts on here (including a Q&A w/ Chipocrite), and some quality post-event coverage here on Geekadelphia. Come dressed to show what a big fan you are, Lebowski lovers. You might just end up on here.

Mark your calendars, kids. RSVP on Facebook. Are you out of the loop? Shy on the details? Well here’s the deets on this two festival, thrown at the Theater of the Living Arts and North Bowl.

Friday, June 3rd @ the Theater of Living Arts
The first day of Lebowski Fest. Features a screening of the Big Lebowski w/ chiptune sensation Chipocrite playing songs from soundtrack, remixed into 8-bit chiptunes. Doors open at 8pm, show kicks off at 9pm. A dance party and a chance to see the film on the big screen? Awesome. Unlike a lot of the screenings we’ve held at other venues, this event is ALL AGES. Win. $15 in adv, $18 day of.

Saturday, June 4th @ North Bowl
What would Lebowski Fest be without bowling? Visit Northern Liberties’ North Bowl for the bowling bash. Guests can look forward to bowling, trivia, contests, and more. This event is 21+, and runs 8pm to Midnight. $25 in adv, $30 day of.

Want to win a pair of tickets to the screening / dance party at the TLA? I’ve got three pairs to giveaway, entitling you and a friend entrance to the party on Thursday. How can you win ‘em? I’ll make it easy on you. Just leave a comment about who your favorite character from the Big Lebowski is and why. I’ll select three of you at random early next week.

Good luck! For tickets and more information, visit Lebowskifest.com

    It’s gotta be the Dude. He goes with the flow, makes his observations and tries to hunt down his rug. It tied that room together so well, man. And no matter what happens, gangsters or nihilists or dirty undies, the Dude abides.

    The dude abides man. It is because of that character that I now exclusively enjoy white Russians and treat bowling with respect.

    Walter. Because until that movie, I was never truly sure what happened when you f*ck a stranger in the ass…

  4. TK May 27, 2011 at 4:05 pm #

    Walter, I love his ridiculousness.

    Donny, because I have a friend named Donny and I like being able to tell him to shut the fuck up with impunity bc, hey, it’s just a movie quote.

    Sam Elliott. Because I want him to narrate my life.

    Walter, most definitely. He respects the “Don’t buy a Pomeranian a beer nor bowling shoes” sentiment that is so widely held by America.

  8. JG May 28, 2011 at 12:28 pm #

    Sam Elliot. He has a beautiful stache.

    Jesus….most memorable bowler from any movie…although Bill Murray in Kingpin ranks a close second.

    Nobody fucks with the Jesus!

    Walter, he’s crazy guy that in the ends turns out to be a loyal friend. How could you not like a sentimental crazy guy.

  12. Don May 28, 2011 at 6:57 pm #

    Donny. Not only do we share a name, we’re both consistently out of our element.

  13. Elle May 28, 2011 at 8:27 pm #

    The Dude. Because he is a legit bad ass and I had a boss that was his exact clone.

    Maude Lebowski- Pretty much the best example of anyone I’ve met in West Philly.

    NOBODY FUCKS WITH THE JESUS!
