i'm a huge fan of the movie that made bowling hip. but i just stumbled across lebowskifest.

tell me if I'm wrong but looks like the guy in the Aggression shirt is sporting a flying P tattoo

http://www.lebowskifest.com/shirts_page.asp

then again, maybe i'm out of my element

Looks like the number four to me, but let's call it a pixies tatoo so this topic can belong here. Not that it wouldn't anyway. Great site, we should all celebrate all things Lebowski. I got a Nixon bowling poster for 10 bucks! You're being very dude, dude.

Well that's like, your opinion man. Just registered as Brother Seamus. I lived in Panorama City in '91 with Ralphs and In 'n' Out handy. Now I live in SW Massachusetts near where the Coens went to school for a while, there's a barber shop nearby a lot like the one in The Man Who Wasn't There, 3 stations, 2 barbers, one talks the other doesn't. What's next?

Lebowski's my second Coen choice, first place goes to Barton Fink - Clifford Odetts meets William Faulkner in a nightmare sequel to Rear Window.

My friend pointed out to me that the cowboy's on the Dude's bowling team.

He suggested that this would be well understood by anyone who has ever been in a bowling league.

Anyone?

How many people on a bowling team?

By directly addressing I mean talks to and addresses him by his name, while they are drinking in one scene.

There's a lebowski fest? My faith in humanity is restored!

I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.

RIP Hollywood Star Lanes (the alley used in Lebowski) on Santa Monica Blvd. The city of L.A. took over the property to build a school. Dipshits.

http://www.roadsidepeek.com/preserv/preservupdate/hollywoodstarupdt/

I'm bitter about it. I used to bowl there once a week in the early '90s. I even took my wife there on our first date. Now it's gone.

At least they didn't take my wife.

Ok, to rephrase my question without the subtleties, can someone knowledgeable about bowling culture confirm my friend’s experience that many bowling teams are comprised of a group of people who do everything together and one person, a virtual stranger, who keeps to himself?

I can't even watch the film 'cos like a dipshit I leant my DVD to some girl. booooo!

I can't even make myself a white russian 'cos I'm all out of milk. boooooo!

I might go and perv at buscemi pictures on the web though, I love donnie! yaaaaaaaaaaay!

(openly wept when he died, openly laughed my arse off when they choked on his ashes though)

I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.

I think the winter is going to be a real whirligig

I am actually here because of Will. I'm a big fan of him and his fests (been to three this year), so I was curious about the Pixies once I learned Will was a big fan. Pfeffa and DiosMio, a Lebowski Fest forum Achiever, recommended Monkey Gone to Heaven to download -- actually, Pfeffa recommended the whole Doolittle album, but are we gonna split hairs here?

Ooooo! There's a "best of" album with 23 tracks for only $10 on iTunes. That sounds worthy. Can anyone confirm, or uh, disconfirm that suspicion?

By the way, if a cluster of you all make it down to Louisville for Leboswki Fest 4 or Los Angeles for Lebowski Fest West 2, I will personally make you "I hate the f***ing Eagles" t-shirts! (Dunno if cursing is appropriate on this forum, so I thought I'd take 'er easy.)
