If you’ve been paying attention to the Bent Blog then you’ve likely gotten wind of the Source’s Lebowski-inspired Wii Bowling Extravaganza on Friday night in WinterFest Bent Lounge. With that in mind, we’ve suspended all editorial projects in lieu of Lebowski costume preparations and Mii design. (If you’re not familiar, Miis are the little Lego-like figures that populate the Wii world and function as your virtual avatar in games like Wii bowling.) We’ve already set to work building a Lebowski cast of Miis for Friday night’s tourney. But we’d like to see what you Wii owners can come up with, and we’re prepared to offer up a bounty for the best Lebowski Mii.

We’re offering up a $20 gift certificate for Westside Bakery and two WinterFest buttons to the person who sends us the Best Lebowski Mii (You choose the character).

We’re not expecting Pixar here. Just use your smartie phone to snap the image from your TV screen and email it to editor@tsweekly.com.
