The weird pull of “the woods at night” was something I already knew & recognized, even then…

… so hot damn! it was fun to finally go see some of the original film locations in person. We took a little road trip out from under the tear-gas-haze of Portland for a mere 2.5hrs north by car to scenic Snoqualmie, WA & spent a lovely night at the Salish Lodge & Spa, gazing out at the… oh, look at this… it just happens to be…

Adorably, the hotel leans into the whole TWIN PEAKS vibe with special “Dale Cooper” cocktails and a “Damn Fine Cherry Pie” on a the menu. #ThumbsUp

Of course we drove about 10min over to North Bend & had milkshakes (at a respectable social distance) over at Twede’s Cafe… aka the “Double R Diner”. The whole area is bogglingly beautiful, of course, including the tiny bend in the river where “Ronette’s Bridge” still stands:

David Lynch Organic Coffee https://www.mtadkins.com/2008/27/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=david-lynch-organic-coffee Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:26:47 +0000 http://www.matt-adkins.com/archives/27
You know, I thought I heard this was in the works, but now you can finally get your coffee "black as midnight on a moonless night" with special David Lynch Organic Coffee.

Normally, my pedestrian palate is satisfied by whatever I can find at Target that day, but as a former subscriber to Wrapped In Plastic, I might have to give this stuff a try.

And just in case you forget what a national treasure David Lynch is…here’s his opinions on whether you should watch a movie on an iPhone (well travelled, I know, but worth seeing every time)

 

Also, I’m a big fan of his book, Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity, which my wife was thoughtful enough to give me. (Go for the audiobook, read by the author version if you’re feeling extra "Lynchian"…)
