Get out of your element — with the Dude

Fans of The Big Lebowski should have no problem abiding this one. A crowd full of people dressed as characters from the Coen Brother cult classic, sipping (virgin) White Russians sounds like a pretty weird night out to me. Along with a screening of the film, the Frost Heaves and The Dude Abides will be on hand playing covers of songs from the soundtrack. You’re likely to hear some Creedence, but definitely no Eagles. Screenings Friday and Saturday, so plan accordingly if you don’t roll on Shabbas.

Dude-fest: Friday and Saturday, April 22-23. 6:45 p.m. Pothole Pictures, Shelburne Falls Memorial Hall, 51 Bridge St., Shelburne Falls.
