Tom, aka The Dude, is a staple at almost every Lebowski Fest.  He has been to festivals all over the world including Los Angeles, San Franciso, Chicago, UK, Louisville, and NYC.  Tom has a room full of trophies for winning Best Dude, Best Costume, and various trivia contest winnings.  Besides owning a closet-full of Dude-sweaters, Tom also has a room dedicated to Lebowski memorabilia and even drives a green Gran Torino with some rust coloration.  If you're ever at a Lebowski Fest or happen to see Tom tending bar at the Alley Cat on Broad Ripple in Indianapolis, be sure to say, "Hi," and tell him Chalupa sent you.
