We've been bummed out ever since we crunched the numbers and realized that there's no way in hell we'll ever be able to retire early and buy The Dude's Venice bungalow. We tried turning to our Abide Guide for comfort, but nothing was working...until we heard the news this morning that there will be a The Big Lebowski cast reunion at this year's Lebowski Fest!

The Big Lebowski Cast Reunion At Lebowski Fest In August!
Free Two Boots "Dude" Pizza Is One Way To Celebrate 4/20
Stoner holiday 4/20 is coming up tomorrow. Not that you really need a holiday as an excuse to burn one, but if you do find yourself with the munchies, try to wander your way in the direction of a Two Boots pizza. Between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. they'll be giving away free half-slices of "The Dude" pizza, made with tasso, ground beef, cheddar and mozzarella. But watch out, the dangerous combination of a pot buzz and the meat sweats could trigger some strange hallucinations:
Video: Cookie Monster Rocks SNL With Jeff Bridges
After weeks of furry-ously campaigning, the Cookie Monster succeeded in his quest to host make an appearance on Saturday Night Live last night. He sang "Silver Bells" with host Jeff Bridges, who brought his affable presence (though not enough Lebowski charm) to the final show of 2010. The episode brought the usual mix of SNL sweet spots: a laugh-free political cold-open, an effervescent Miley Cyrus Show (with added salvia references), Bill Hader's fantastic Julian Assange (by-way-of Count Von Count) parody, and a team-up by Weekend Update all-stars Gov. Paterson, Stefon, and Snookie to sing “O Christmas Tree.” Click through to see those videos, plus a "Crunkmas" commercial, and the new Lonely Island digital short, "I Just Had Sex," featuring cameos by Jessica Alba, Blake Lively, John McEnroe, and Akon (and serious, if we just had sex with Joanna Newsom, we'd be shouting about it too).
Friday Afternoon Cute: Kitten on a Bridge!
A woman who used to volunteer at the BARC cat loft has a great tale of a kitten she met on the Queensboro Bridge one morning while running. His name is Jeff Bridges.Jeff Bridges is the kitten I found while I was running over the Queensboro Bridge Thursday morning. How the hell he got on the pedestrian walkway of the bridge–a long, long fall on the right, eight lanes of traffic on the left...
How to Make Friends and Beg for Extras!
Toby Young's tome on Graydon Carter and life at Vanity Fair, How To Lose Friends & Alienate People, is hitting the big screen just like its female counterpart The Devil Wears Prada.
Lebowski Fest NYC
"If you will it, it is no dream." Four years ago Scott Shuffitt and Will Russell were just a couple of bums the square community didn't give a shit about, trading dialogue from the Coen brothers' comic masterpiece The Big Lebowski, when they decided to found a festival in honor of all things Duder. (Others have since gone on to make it their religion; called "Dudeism", adherents describe it as "your answer to everything".)
Lebowski Mania is Sweeping New York
Gothamist is certainly a big fan of Joel and Ethan Coen's classic THE BIG LEBOWSKI, but we are wondering if people are taking it a bit too far.
Big Idea of the Week
In a collective brain fart (jinx!), The New York Times and Newsweek both revisit the curse of the Blair Witch Project: How none of the parties associated with the successful indie film have converted that into even more success and fame and power. The Blair Witch Project, a movie one hit wonder. This will be filed alongside the "Oscar curse" (you win an Oscar, then your next film is crappy; examples include F. Murray Abraham, Elizabeth Shue Mira Sorvino, Tommy Lee Jones) and "box office poison" (Jeff Bridges even though he's likable and a sympathetic actor; Penelope Ann Miller, although that could also be called "Remember not to tell everyone you slept with Al Pacino or else you'll be blacklisted").
