Whats Goin On?

This weekend? Well, two events strike my interest (and no, neither of them are the Oscars really).

Modernica: LA's original Design Not So Within Reach has its once yearly Wherehouse Sale. Just about everyone is keeping this under their hats and with good reason. Probably the only time you'll be able to even think about owning that swank piece of "case-study" furniture, if you're willing to brave the crowds and line. Last year Jenny and I snagged two Nelson Lamps for less then half the retail!

Lebowski Fest: Although I've never geeked out enough to attend one of these, The Big Labowski is right up there with Fletch and Spinal Tap for hilarious quotable lines. Unlike these other two though, people have decided to create a yearly festival of all things "The Dude". What with the likes of Jeff Dowd (the original dude) and Lu Elrod ( the Waitress) appearing...Strikes and Gutters indeed. Pre-Party at the Knitting Factory on the 3rd. Main event at Cal Bowl on the 4th. Check the site here.
