Apparently, "The Dude Abides" in Louisville, Ky. Why? Because Jeff "the Dude" Dowd is from there? Something tells me Dowd has as much to do with "The Dude" from
The Big Lebowski as George Clooney had to do with Odysseus, but that's hardly the point. These guys are obviously big fans of
the movie."We get e-mails from people all the time who say 'Holy cow, I thought I was the only person who was crazy about this movie.' " says festival co-founder Scott Shuffitt, a Louisville truck driver, as he surveys the crowd.
And if you're planning next year's festivities,
this would probably a good place to go for info. I think I'm going to have to get a
bumper sticker. It would really tie my car together.
