Well That's Cool

Say what you want about the tenants of Wellthatscool.com, but at least it’s an ethos… and that ethos was on hand on April 7th at the Bama Theatre in Tuscaloosa for “Tuscaloosa Abides: A Celebration of All Things Lebowski”.  The now annual event is not only a showing of the Cohen Brothers’ classic, The Big Lebowski, but an overall celebration of the quirky world that film created.

The night included Wii Bowling for those wanting to replicate the favorite hobby of The Dude, Walter, and Donny and specials on Caucasians, or White Russians if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.  The highlight before the actual showing of the film was a costume contest held by The Pink Box Burlesque’s own Mama Dixie, which tied the night together nicely…

If you don’t have Nihilists chasing you and you don’t have to chase down little Larry on suspicion of stealing your “briefcase”, take a look at the full gallery of photos at http://www.dsmithimages.com/site/events/tuscaloosa-abides-4-7-12/1/.

Enjoy!

After checking out Ally’s opening, (sounds dirty, it’s not, but go here for details) why not head over to see one of our favorite groups of people here in the Druid City, the Pink Box Burlesque.  You don’t know who they are? Well let’s let the leader of their troupe and the object of all us cooligan’s desires, Mama Dixie, give you some back ground.

” We are Tuscaloosa’s own Burlesque Troupe, focused on traditional burlesque and pin-up culture, we have a wide variety of performers, characters and performances… song, dance, comedy, juggling, live band and the list goes on and on….2011 is our fourth season and we’re working diligently to bring you some amazing shows!”

Rock on Mama. We got a little red hot and bothered just reading that so you know the show will be all that and a bag of chips. Here is a little of what to expect.
