World Art Car Day is going down the same day as Houston Lebowski Bash and that means that over 30 Art Cars will descend on Discovery Green to take part in all things Dude.

There is no doubt that us Bums and Art Car lovers/builders share the same road and on Friday November 13th the road will lead to Downtown Houston

The date has been set fellow achievers for this years Houston Lebowski Bash! The Bums will descend on Discovery Green on Friday November 13th to partake in all things Dude.

Come celebrate the opening of the new Lucky Strikes Lane in downtown Houston with music, trivia, costume contest, an outdoor human bowling alley and, of course, beer.

Event begins at 7:30 pm, movie at 10 pm. Let me remind you achievers out there, the Dude uses a lot of cuss words so I hope you remember to leave the kids at home. Unless of course they have taste for cursin, Creedence and good ole hatred for the Eagles.

Keep your eyes peeled to this site and Discovery Green for more details in the coming weeks

The Tontons Set to Play Lebowski Bash

jaymac4 — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:01:09 +0000

The Tontons, one of Houston’s best kept secrets that is set to explode, are confirmed to play Houston’s Lebowski Bash and I’m sure the Dude would abide.

The Tontons described as ‘A reckless blend of rock and psychedelic blues has given birth to a new sound’ by SXSW will play an exciting set of original songs plus I am told by, a very reliable source, that there are some surprises in store for us achievers.

Check out their MySpace page. I know big things are in store for the Tontons, you can’t have that much talent that goes unchecked
