Jeff Bridges to Headline This Year’s Lebowski Fest

The Dude Abides
If one were a fan of the Coen Brothers comedy, The Big Lebowski, in a slightly obsessive way, he or she might be sufficiently excited to know that there’s an annual Lebowski Fest where fellow fanatics gather en masse.

If that same one were to learn that Jeff Bridges (PeekYou profile here), Lebowski‘s The Dude himself, was to appear at this year’s event, we imagine that fan would just about explode.

Of course, we already spoiled the surprise in the subject line, but allow us this build-up. And the truth is, no Lebowski fan of the sort we describe is unacquainted with the Fest, and most are aware that Bridges has appeared during previous years’ events.

This year’s event will be taking place at the Witern Theater in Los Angeles, April 25-26.

Visit Rolling Stone here for more on this, as well as Bridges’ relationship to his iconic, bathrobe clad character. And visit Bridges’ PeekYou profile for a multimedia tour through the best of what the Web has to share of Jeff’s film and music careers.

To play us out, Jeff singing Bob Dylan’s “The Man in Me” at a previous Lebowski Fest.
