WALDOBORO—Grab your ratty bathrobe and work on your candlepin bowling skills, because this Sunday, the Narrows Tavern is hosting its first annual “Big Lebowski” event after the cult movie, The Big Lebowski, a 1998 comedy-crime film written by the Coen brothers, Ethan and Joel.

This hits all the bullet points for a Cheap Date—it’s social, it’s free and it’s madcap. Madcap I tells ya!

So grab a buddy or a babe and head down to The Narrows Tavern at 5:30 p.m. where everyone will be chillaxing with some Caucasians (that’s Jeff Lebowski’s term for a White Russian). Then at 6 p.m. the whole crew will saunter over to All Play to get a few round of bowling in before heading back to The Narrows Tavern to watch the movie together. Expect to see lots of costumes from the movie and to get yourself in character, here are some of the best lines from The Big Lebowski that didn’t contain swear words:

• Oh, you know, strikes and gutters, ups and downs.

• Well, sir, it's this rug I had. It really tied the room together.

• Look, let me explain something to you. I'm not Mr. Lebowski. You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. That, or His Dudeness... Duder... or El Duderino, if, you know, you're not into the whole brevity thing.

• This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Luckily I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind limber.

• Careful, man, there's a beverage here!

Have fun and we’ll try to get some photos for a gallery next week!
