The 1992 Twin Peaks Fan Festival was held from August 14-16, 1992 in Snoqualmie Valley, Washington. While the U.S. premiere of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was a tentpole moment for the weekend, the “Twin Peaks Chamber of Commerce” (known today at the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce) packed the weekend with…
The music of Twin Peaks was my gateway to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. In the early 1990s, there were only a handful of releases available – two albums by Julee Cruise – “Floating Into The Night” and “The Voice of Love” – and two soundtrack albums with one from the television…
As an archivist for my favorite television show Twin Peaks, I love finding ephemera created when David Lynch and Mark Frost’s masterpiece first aired in the early 1990s. Many of these paper items were produced for a specific, immediate purpose and not much thought was given to saving them for future records. This colorful brochure was…

The Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls has been a popular spot for tourists and residents of Washington state for decades. So it’s no surprise that many postcards were created highlighting this destination. Here is another one with a photograph by Ben Harrison.
David Lynch introduced the world to his masterpiece feature film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, on May 16 1992 at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Bookhouse Boys are one of my favorite things from the first two seasons of Twin Peaks. This secret society formed in the small Pacific Northwest town had been fighting the evil in the woods for decades. While the group was absent in both David Lynch’s 1992 feature film and third season – “The Return,”…
In 1993, I fell in in love with David Lynch and Mark Frost’s “wonderful and strange” show by watching reruns of Twin Peaks on Bravo TV. But that Bravo TV was the cable channel found in the United States. Two years later in April 1995, a different Bravo TV began airing reruns of the show…
In April 2018, Showtime sent members of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences voting for the Emmy Awards a DVD set containing all 18 part of Twin Peaks: The Return. This five-disc set was in advance of the “For Your Emmy Consideration” campaign launched in May that year. There was an event held on May…
My look back at “TV Guide” magazines from April-May 1990 continues with the April 21-27 issue. This issue contains an interview with Peggy Lipton who played Norma Jennings in Twin Peaks. There is also a fantastic ad with James Hurley (James Marshall) and Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn) at the Double R Diner. It’s an odd one…
