Imagine being invited to a party in downtown Los Angeles, California to celebrate the release of a new motion picture. Dining on “apps and zerts,” you rub elbows with the film’s stars and raise a glass (or two) before seeing this newest creation on the silver screen. Except, there is no screening and the party…
Since launching Twin Peaks Blog in February 2018, I’ve been documenting all historical aspects of my favorite television show and David Lynch movie, no matter how obscure. That’s why I’m thrilled to share this latest gem from late August 1992. If you were in Southern California at the time, you could have raised a glass…
Lately I’ve been discussing the film festival premieres for the Twin Peaks pilot episode. In between these festivals, the pilot was screened for the Television Critics Association during ABC Television’s winter press tour on January 6, 1990.

“Welcome to Canada!” The Twin Peaks pilot episode festival tour continues with a look at the Canadian premiere during the 1989 Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF). This event was held a few weeks after the debut at the Telluride Film Festival in September 1989. Unlike Telluride, David Lynch and Mark Frost’s masterpiece would kick off the…
For years, I’ve heard stories of how the pilot episode of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks was screened to a variety of audiences long before it debuted the ABC Television Network in April 1990.

Almost a year after the season two finale in the United States, folks in France and Japan would get to see David…

The first two days in Fayetteville, Arkansas turned out to be a great time with fellow Twin Peaks fans from around the world. For the last day, we gathered together to pay tribute to an icon, hear stories from the stars…
Twin Peaks fans from around the world descended on Fayetteville, Arkansas for the inaugural Fayetteville Comic Show on February 29 – March 1, 2020. Upon hearing that several stars from the show, including Sheryl Lee, James Marshall, Eric Da Re and others, were attending, I booked a flight. While many fellow Bookhouse Boys and Gals and…
Last year was my first time participating in Record Store Day. I had a good reason to go – multiple soundtracks to Twin Peaks on Showtime were released on picture disc vinyl. At the time, I thought my day long adventure would be a one-of-a-kind experience until I saw a tweet from @TwinPeaksBook on February 28, 2019….
As the Twin Peaks Fan Festival returns to the North Bend and Snoqualmie area in Washington State, I’m reminiscing about my first (and only) visit in August 1996. Attending the fan fest with my buddy Joe, we visited many of the iconic film locations including Salish Lodge and Snoqualmie Falls. Here are several photos from…
