A new format has come to light - we're no longer into the whole brevity thing. This year, we will watch the whole movie, but there will be a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what have yous; the movie will shut the fuck up occasionally for a scene performance or live music. There will still be biking and a costume contest with silly prizes. There will be a distinct winner for each character from the movie. And at least 2 ‘miscellaneous’ prizes for you real creative folk! We'll let the contestants show off at the first stop, then do some trivia and vote on the costume contest winners at the 2nd stop. We’ll end at a park for the enhanced movie experience on a projector starting at 8:30-ish when it gets dark enough for that. More details to come. Because of this format, we have more opportunities if you want to participate!! if you want to perform a scene or 2, you could organize your people and rehearse on your own and then join us for the last couple of rehearsals before the show on Friday, August 14th! Please reach out to me if you want to be involved at pdxperiences@gmail.com. We’re also looking for bands or musicians who might want to perform some songs from the movie, live-orchestra style :) Some pretty awesome scenes that you could perform that will replace that scene from the movie include (in chronological order): The carpet-pissers Bunny Lebowski Mark it Zero! (with a bubble gun) The Jesus bowl + dance. Also could perform some of his lines along the bike route? The Limo scene with Big Lebowski yelling at the dude. The Diner scene right after: “That wasn’t her toe, dude” The recovery of the dude's car with the "LEADS" guy Maude and Knox Harrington Little Larry Any circus people wanna toss some people like at Jackie Treehorn’s place? Jackie Treehorn’s scene Sheriff of Malibu scene The final Big Lebowski confrontation with the human paraquat Walter’s Eulogy - can share our Portland-modified version if it :)
