Title: MMJ & The Big Lebowski
Post by: John Strickland on Jan 22, 2006, 10:20 AM
Does anyone know of a connection between MMJ and this cult film? I found a convention flyer on the internet for a, 'Big Lebowki' festival and it clearly said live music from, 'MMJ' R the band fans? Sorry if this has been discussed before. New MMJ fan here.

That poster is from Lebowski Fest which is a get together in which Lebowski Fans from all other come listen to good music, drink white russians and bowl.  MMJ kicked off the fest two years ago.  Here's a recording, they open with "man in me":

And the LebowskiFest website:

The founders of the fest are from Louisville just like MMJ.
