The Coen Bros really know how to make a film, huh? Well Jungle Jim’s knows how to throw one mean Big Lebowski-themed party, complete with a screening of the cult classic movie — quoting is encouraged.
When a case of mistaken identity upends his life, Jeff "the Dude" Lebowski must wrangle with kidnappers, rug thieves, German nihilists and ransom demands.
For this Saturday's Big Lebowski Bash, the market's Jungle Jim's Experience Center in Eastgate is transforming into themed wonderland. During a screening of the 1998 film, ticketholders can grab cocktails and appetizers including Walter’s Show Dogs (aka corn dogs), “The Dude’s” pub fries, Stella Artois and, of course, White Russians. They'll also get swag bags with Lebowski-themed souvenirs.
After the film, you can hit the outdoor after-party, with a full bar and a Lebowski look-alike contest. And if you don’t care for The Dude-themed parties, well, you know, that’s just like, uh, your opinion man.
4-11 p.m. Saturday (July 20). Doors open at 4 p.m.; film screening begins at 5 p.m.; after-party runs 7-11 p.m. $35 film screening; free for the after-party. Jungle Jim’s International Market Eastgate. 4450 Eastgate South Drive, Eastgate, junglejims.com.
