On Friday Sept 13th is “That’s not her toe, Dude”, an evening of Lebowski-related activities and a screening of the original motion picture The Big Lebowski.  The event will take place at the Bayardstown Social Club, at 3008 Penn Avenue in Lawrenceville.  The event is $10 and the attractions will include a costume contest, robes, In & Out-style burgers, three bands playing the soundtrack to the Big Lebowski, White Russians, beer, pub quiz, guess how many pairs of dirty undies in a suitcase, bowling ball polishing competition, nihilists, a tape deck w/ Creedence and more.  Arrive early — there’s a good chance this will sell out.  A couple of other things to know:  in case of rain, the event will be at Artists Image Resource, on the North Side.  Check Pittsburgh Abides for more inside details.
