Last weekend, my good friend Kelley and I decided to hit the road in Wilson the bug and head to the 9th annual Lebowski Fest in Louisville, KY. Before loading up, Kelley had searched Roadside America for anything odd we might be interested in seeing along the way.
She found some doozies.
But first the fest. Friday night was on the lawn of Executive Strike and Spare. A huge stage was set up with a movie screen. Bands played until about 10 pm and then the movie started.
It was so much fun to sit with about 200 Lebowski fans and quote the movie line by line.
Saturday night was the big party at the bowling alley. Here are just a few of the shots:
Now for the actual weirdo attractions that we saw in and around Louisville.
The world’s largest coffee pot.
The world’s largest vampire bat.
A houseful of junk.
The world’s largest beer bottle.
And just to mix it up a little… 
Midget mountain – A christian campground for little people (which seriously creeped me and Kelley out).
You can see more pictures on my flickr page. Kelley and I may be hitting the road again some time in September to see Pavement in NYC. Still working the details out on that one though.

Ah – I’ve always wondered who my East Moriches reader was! I’ll let you know if I end up in the big city. I will for sure before the end of the year for work.
