Lebowski Fest 2005 The greatest spectacle on earth. Okay, maybe not...but it was a great, wonderful, and incredibly bizarre time. What follows is only an attempt to convey the madness using images; for the text account of the weekend, check out the thoughts entry here. |

| The stage, being set up in preparation to show the film. |
Two very blurry shots of James Hoosier, the man who played
Liam in the movies. He was very drunk, but was overjoyed to be there. |

| Liam attempting to re-create the ball cleaning scene from the film. |
The opening titles. Bliss. | The first set of costumes: a toe flanked by two camelfuckers. |
 |
 |
 |
| The official replica of the Dudemobile. Complete with Creedence
tapes, Dude license plate, and a ringer. (We got there too late to engage in our own ringer toss.) |

 |
| Arthur Digby Sellers and his friends. (He has health problems.) |
I just liked the sign. | Donny's ashes, and a White Russian. |
 |
 |
 |
| At one point in the movie, the Dude says "I still jerk off manually". Somehow, that led to this bit of genius. |
A nihilist and his girlfriend. (She gave up her toe - it's not fair!) |
|
 |
 |
 |
| The Ralph's card--the Dude's only form of ID. | Walter and his dirty undies. | |
 |
 |
 |
| Obviously, she is a golfer. | The man in the black pajamas. A worthy fucking adversary. |
Lichtenberry pancakes. As ordered by the nihilists near the film's end. |
 |
 |
 |
| The nihilists, a la the dream sequence. |
Need I say more? | The ransom note, as sent to Jeffrey Lebowski. |
 |
 |
 |
| A bowling pin signed by various cast members and Fest workers. |
Me, Liam, and Adam. A very nice and hunble guy, that Liam. |
One version of "the fucking Eagles", and a friend of theirs. |
 |
 |
 |
| Me and Adam with the original Dude, Jeff Dowd. |
The rug, which tied the room together. |
The rug finds a soulmate. Who seems to be drunk. |
 |
 |
 |
| The queen in her damned undies. |
One of the dancers from the dream sequence. |
The first amendment restricting waitress. |
 |
 |
 |
| The Lebowski valkeries. | The winning version of "the fucking Eagles", in
the midst of their celebration over winning "Best Group Costume". |
|
 |
 |
 |
| The nihilists seem angry over their loss. |
The camelfuckers, celebrating their win with best costume.
(Honestly, nothing short of video can convery the hilariousness and creepiness of their celebration.) |

| Various signs and banners about the fest, one of which has Adam posing in remembrance. | ||
