Happy birthday to #twinpeaks co-creator, writer, director, producer, novelist, and actor @markfrost.bsky.social whose work has had an enormous impact on me and changed the trajectory of television for the better. I’m grateful for the years of inspiration, even as a Giants fan.

Hawthorne Hideaway is a #twinpeaks themed bar & music venue in Portland, OR complete with TP art on the walls, red curtains on the stage, and several TVs looping the show. Read about my recent experience playing here with my band Vinnie Guidera & The Dead Birds on Twin Peaks Blog. tinyurl.com/tppdx

Apologies for falling behind on posts as I’ve been busy on the road with my band, Vinnie Guidera & The Dead Birds. At least we managed to fit in a quick stop at Snoqualmie Falls on the way to our Seattle show last week to soak in the mist and eat at the Salish Lodge’s newly remodeled restaurant. 🏔️🏔️

Happy Halloween from your friend above the convenience store! Don’t fill up on candy before you’ve had your garmonbozia 🌽 #twinpeaks #firewalkwithme

Though this #TwinPeaks location is established briefly in episode 2010, Mo's Motor is first named in Fire Walk With Me. The corner of Meadowbrook Wy & Park St in Snoqualmie was home to the Brook Theatre from 1923 to the mid 1960s. Sadly, the building was demolished in the summer of 2015.

A day late, but happy birthday to Dave Robinson who served as prop master (S1) and painter (S2, FWWM) on the #twinpeaks crew, but you might recognize him as the “Georgia Peach” from Jacques Polaroid. It’s been a pleasure getting to know Dave over the last few years. He’s as humble as he is funny.

Exciting news for prop lovers attending the Mahoning Drive-In’s “Wild World of David Lynch” event this weekend! I’ve sent a small collection of screen-used props to be displayed throughout the event. I’m sorry I can’t be there, but I hope you’ll enjoy this bit of #twinpeaks magic in my absence.

Fire Walk With Me hit US theaters 33 years ago on Aug. 28, 1992. Production returned to the Snoqualmie Valley and established new locations in the #twinpeaks universe. Here are a few locations as they appear in the real world, all photographed in the last year. Do you still recognize them all?

Happy birthday to #twinpeaks most charming showman, Ray Wise. This past February during The Real Twin Peaks event, he stopped by the Moose Lodge for karaoke after his meet and greet at the North Bend Theatre, singing “Mairzy Doats” and “Getting to Know You” - two of Leland Palmer’s greatest hits.

I love artifacts that offer a glimpse of what it was like on the #twinpeaks set. These placards were used to identify vehicles parked on the City Studios lot during the original run. To my knowledge, this font wasn’t used in any other official branding. More on Twin Peaks Blog: tinyurl.com/mvb37tdk

Big Ed’s Gas Farm was originally located at 8606 Preston-Fall City Rd SE in Preston, WA at the former site of Butchy’s Service Station & General Store, built by Butch and Agnes Fredeen in 1940. Butch and his store appear in the new Images of America: Snoqualmie Valley book, published July 1, 2025.

Very sorry to hear that Rebekah Del Rio has passed away. An immense talent. I could never forget her voice after hearing “Llorando” in Mulholland Dr and was glad to see her in the Twin Peaks revival. Here she is singing “No Stars” in North Bend, WA in Feb 2023. Farewell to La Llorona de Los Angeles.

In 1994, Wrapped in Plastic held a write-in contest where readers could answer trivia questions to win magazines signed by #twinpeaks singer Julee Cruise. Read more as Twin Peaks Blog’s “Julee in June” coverage continues: tinyurl.com/tpjc94

Finally got to visit David Lynch’s resting place yesterday and left some art, a note of thanks, and a blue rose among the tributes. While there, a turtle stopped by and a bee investigated a Lego flower. I have to think a person of David’s curiosity would love this variety of visitors. #davidlynch

When #twinpeaks returned in 2017, I was pleased that the marketing embraced ephemera from the original run. This enamel pin was a recreation of a gift that David Lynch designed for the crew in 1990. A photo of an original pin (third photo) can be found in the Season Two Music & More vinyl release.

In 2021, I drove 800 miles to pick up Nadine’s rowing machine - a #TwinPeaks prop featured in episodes directed by both David Lynch & @markfrost.bsky.social - which was posted on Craigslist. It’s mounted above my fireplace, but I display it at events when possible for fellow fans to enjoy up close.

Days before #firewalkwithme began filming in WA, the Twin Peaks cast/crew received a memo detailing amenities that might be of interest during their stay at the Red Lion Hotel in Bellevue with an emphasis on laundry options as the shoot would last over a month. A peek at real life during production.

As Twede’s Cafe prepares to refresh its “RR2GO!” mural following stucco repair, I thought it’d be fun to look at the diner pre-Showtime facelift. This was my first photo at a #twinpeaks location, taken August 2013. In September 2015, the blue/red mural was painted and filming for The Return began.

When the #twinpeaks revival premiered in LA in May 2017, an afterparty was held at Clifton’s - a perfect spot complete with a realistic indoor redwood tree. This chevron “TP” emblem was designed by David Lynch for the event and appeared on everything from mugs to a logging truck parked outside.

The story pole at the Kiana Lodge (aka #twinpeaks’ Blue Pine Lodge) gets a close up in ep 2.014. This piece was carved by Craig Jacobrown, an apprentice to Duane Pasco who painted the Northwest Coast murals on the property which would inform the look of the Great Northern. Photographed August 2024.

In ep. 1005 of #twinpeaks, Coop finds several postcards in Jacques’ cupboard, including one depicting a giant log converted into an outhouse at Grundy’s Redwood Terrace on CA’s Redwood Highway. But this isn’t the only card with a Northern CA connection. More on Twin Peaks Blog: tinyurl.com/42zrhv8m

New Twin Peaks Blog article is live, covering the “What the Log Saw” exhibit at Portland’s #worldforestrycenter. The display offers a look at #loglady Catherine Coulson’s advocacy for forests and fire prevention, as well as #twinpeaks artifacts and family photos. Read more: tinyurl.com/mrzup8j2

Today marks the opening of “What the Log Saw” - a special pop-up exhibit at Portland’s World Forestry Center. For the first time, the original Log is on display thanks to Catherine Coulson’s daughter Zoey. The exhibit pairs #twinpeaks with Catherine’s advocacy for forests and runs through June 8.

The house that served as the Briggs residence in #twinpeaks is a single story rambler in Fall City, WA located about a half mile from The Roadhouse. Built in 1964, it’s seen some renovations over the years (including the fence enclosing the yard) but it’s still easy to line up the neighboring tree.

The David Lynch: Moving Through Time retrospective was really special. If you missed it, check out my Twin Peaks Blog article below for photos, interview excerpts, and more from my short but sweet visit last week. Thanks to Daniel, Scott, & Music Box staff for their hard work. tinyurl.com/bdf242n2

Happy birthday to the incredible Sheryl Lee, who was hired to play a corpse on the beach in the #twinpeaks pilot but became so much more. Her portrayal of #laurapalmer has given a voice to those who have suffered similar abuse for 35 years and counting. Photo from an appearance in North Bend 8/16/24

Such a pleasure meeting editor Mary Sweeney yesterday, who introduced a double feature of Sunset Boulevard and Mulholland Drive followed by a Q&A. Mary shaped many of my favorite films and this was a beautiful way to end my trip to Chicago. Stay tuned for a Twin Peaks Blog article about the event.

Wonderful Q&A with Wendy Robie and Rob Christopher following their film My Last Martini, adapted from a story by Lynch collaborator Barry Gifford. Wendy talked about #twinpeaks and how director Diane Keaton let her choose which take to use when Nadine ripped a door off its hinges in season two.

Great night at the Music Box Theatre. George Griffith was present to screen his film From the Head and spoke of David Lynch’s encouragement when he ran the idea by him in 2009, long before he was cast in Twin Peaks. Thanks to Scott Ryan for a great interview and Daniel Knox for thoughtful curation.

If you’re in Chicago for the #davidlynch retrospective at the Music Box Theatre, you’ll get to see a small collection of original #twinpeaks props, including this Super Pinky rubber ball used in episode 2.007, directed by Lynch himself. Props will be displayed 4/16 to 4/19 only, so don’t miss it!

Twin Peaks premiered on ABC exactly 35 years ago on April 8, 1990. I’m grateful for everything this show has brought into my life - community, artistic inspiration, and a desire to dig deeper. Here are some of my favorite behind the scenes photos from the #twinpeaks pilot shoot on location in WA.

The World Forestry Center in Portland, OR is hosting a special exhibit dedicated to Log Lady Catherine Coulson from May 1 to June 8, 2025. Thanks to her daughter Zoey, The Log itself will be included in the display. Hope to see some #twinpeaks friends there! More info at worldforestry.org/loglady/

Denise Bryson appreciation post in honor of #transgenderdayofvisibility. In 1990, Twin Peaks set the bar for positive trans representation on TV. Denise was presented sincerely when most shows would've only included this character for laughs. Without exception, trans people are worthy of respect 🏳️‍⚧️

Did you know the iconic angular mugs from the Double R Diner are back in production? For a few years, original manufacturer HF Coors has been making the orange variant of the Chefsware mugs used in #twinpeaks again, now called “Twin Peaks Original Edition.” Great place to start a replica collection!

Wind gusts carried the mist as Snoqualmie Falls roared during the Real Twin Peaks event last month. This site is beautiful in all seasons, but its magnitude is on full display with the river rushing after a heavy rain. So much more than a filming location. #snoqualmiefalls #twinpeaks

My recap of last week’s screening of “I Know Catherine, The Log Lady” is up on Twin Peaks Blog, including full video of the Q&A. Thanks to @markfrost.bsky.social and the rest of the panelists for sharing beautiful memories of both Catherine Coulson and David Lynch. Read more: shorturl.at/Q1YDx

On March 19, 1977, an uncut version of Eraserhead premiered at Filmex in LA. In the event program, Curtis Freilich described the baby as “one of the screen’s most unique new child stars.” It was a fun challenge to try to capture the unique textures when I painted grown up Spike a few years ago.

What a pleasure to spend a moment with #twinpeaks co-creator @markfrost.bsky.social last night at a screening of “I Know Catherine, The Log Lady.” Several of Catherine Coulson’s friends and collaborators discussed her legacy in a Q&A after the film with much of her family in attendance. Beautiful.

Happy Pi Day, friends 🥧 Here’s a timely #twinpeaks tidbit. In this original copy of the ep. 1001 script, someone wrote an alt version to Coop’s “cherry pie that’ll kill you” line, softening it to “knock your sox off.” I’m glad they went with original version Lynch and @markfrost.bsky.social wrote.

The Cactus Blossoms passed through Sacramento on Sunday and I had the pleasure of meeting them after the show. I’ve been a fan since they appeared in Part 3 of 2017’s #twinpeaks revival. You can find a recap of the show and full video of “Mississippi” in my Twin Peaks Blog article: shorturl.at/ztBCX

For Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, the art department covered a portion of the neon sign at the Mt. Si Motel in North Bend, WA and transformed it into the Red Diamond City Motel. Despite renovations to the building, the sign still looks the same 33 years later. Photo from February 24, 2025.

On Mar 1, 2025, a beautiful fan memorial was held for #DavidLynch at Nauman & Son Funeral Home in Sacramento, CA. Organized by botanical/oddity shop Succulent Sirens, the event celebrated Lynch’s legacy with an appropriate amount of absurdity. Read more on Twin Peaks Blog: tinyurl.com/DKL-memorial

As I leave the Snoqualmie Valley, I’m full of gratitude for the last several days celebrating David Lynch and Mark Frost’s world at #therealtwinpeaks. I had a blast digging into filming locations and props with Steven Miller on our panels, the latter featuring propmaster Jeff Moore. Until next time.

This weekend will warrant a few separate posts, but I simply couldn’t wait to share this one: Ray Wise was great during his two Q&A sessions at #therealtwinpeaks and humored me by posing with my original production-made BOB flyer. Many more photos to come as the fun has just begun!

If you’re headed to #therealtwinpeaks this weekend, here’s another reason to catch the prop panel Sunday. Jeff Moore is bringing a limited number of Circle Brand shirts based on a prop he made in season two! Hear Jeff’s stories, see original props, and grab a souvenir. No Boat Brewing, 2/23, 1:30pm.

We’ll have screen-used items on hand at #therealtwinpeaks prop panel on 2/23, including Donna’s 1960s Monarch suitcase from David Lynch’s memorable season 2 finale. Propmaster Jeff Moore recalls Lara Flynn Boyle picking this piece. More on the prop and panel at Twin Peaks Blog: tinyurl.com/385axeaf

Sacramento friends: The folks at @succulentsirens.bsky.social have planned a free David Lynch memorial and FWWM screening at Nauman & Son Funeral Home on March 1 complete with pie, coffee, music, and screen-used Twin Peaks props. Costumes welcome, as this is a celebration of an Art Life well-lived.

Now here’s a project I can get behind: a fully functional animatronic Eraserhead baby!

We're excited to announce an interview for the FINAL issue of the Blue Rose. Scott Ryan interviews Jen Lynch about her father's legacy. Preorder here www.bluerosemag.com?product=issu... #davidlynch #twinpeaks #thebluerosemagazine #bluerose @thinkajen.bsky.social #jenlynch #FWWM

We’re getting closer to #therealtwinpeaks weekend in the Snoqualmie Valley, and the forecast is looking chilly! But bundling up in a cozy Log Lady sweater is a small price to pay for views like this. It was a treat to see frost at the foot of the falls during my first winter visit in 2023, pictured.
