Dan Zak’s writeup of the Lebowskifest is in today’s Style section and it’s a good read for both Abiders and those of you who just don’t get it. (Which I figure makes you nihilists but you probably wouldn’t get that either) It’s a fun piece, and if you skipped it thinking you’d go next year, well, bad news, buddy.

Unfortunately, Washington, the second-to-last stop on an eight-city tour this year, will not be on next year’s scaled-down docket, says fest co-founder Will Russell. He says he’s pleased with Lebowski Fest D.C., though other frequent festgoers say the 100 people who came to bowl Tuesday night can’t compare with the intense turnouts in other cities (thousands converge on Louisville from all points of the globe).

There’s a few more pictures in the photo gallery for the online article than there was in the print edition, including one in particular think should have made it. It really would have brought the article together, man.

Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.

Hmm, guess I just did.

My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
