Phone's ringin', Melbourne. The second annual Lebowski bash in Australia is bringing its beige bathrobes, purple jumpsuits, jelly shoes, horseshoe mustaches and Jesus wigs to the Astor on Saturday, July 13. Yep, there'll be a costume contest, White Russian bar, Lebowski bar, Kahlua afterparty and a trivia competition to pay tribute to the original Coen brothers 1998 film The Big Lebowski and Lebowski festivals worldwide.

There'll also be a screening of the film itself, more Aussie Dudes than you can shake a stick at, and possibly a ruined rug. It's arguably the one occasion in a year when you can wear a pressed yellow and brown bowling shirt and be admired for it. Everyone from porn empire tycoons to amateur German nihilists will be at this Lebowskiïsm. Don't miss it. You'll be as frustrated as if you were trying to pay off a debt that you know nothing about if you do.
