Because who doesn't love a damn good cup of coffee?Dianne, the weather is putting me in the mood for a Twin Peaks Marathon. If only we hadn't loaned our 1st tape in the series out...oh, well. We can start with the 2nd episode. If you haven't seen this show, you are living in a fool's paradise. I'll say this one more time: If you don't like David Lynch, you're wrong. You actually do. Stop kidding yourself and git to watching.
Twin peaks was on television for only 2 seasons during 1990 and 1991. It's amazing the show made it on air at all, with it's risque-for-the-time subject matter (the drug and sex related murder of a small town prom queen) and it's truly bizarre characters: Stiff, black coffee drinking pie-addicted FBI agents; mill town oddballs; scheming teens; log wielding spinsters; visionary supernatural beings...The show is so evocative...and there's lots of plaid wool. You know we love that. Even Cookie Monster loves this show. Folks can get obsessive with David Lynch material, and I can understand that. Even (bikes) though (bikes) we're (bikes) not (bikes) obsessed with (bikes) anything (bikes), are (bikes) we(bikes)? (Freemasons secretly rule our country, fnord.) You could take a quiz about it here. I turned out to be Agent Cooper, but I must admit the questions were so leading, I was pretty sure where it'd end up...And I completely forgot : I worked as an overnight security guard at the Peaks hotel in Telluride Co, for several (glorious ski bum) years. Kyle Mclachlan stayed there and while delivering the NYT faxes at 3am, I wrote a note on his addressed to Agent Coop, thanking him for the show. I hope it unsettled him a little. It should have; if any show were to spawn legions of psycho-stalker-fans, it is Twin Peaks. L and I had grand plans to establish the "First Church of Twin Peaks, Leland Palmer accepted savior", and have services by watching episodes with communions of coffee and pie. In point of fact, this very holy order we are part of today, the fabled Church of the Sweet Ride itself, is a spin off of that church- which regrettably never made it off the ground. We were subsequently married in another spin off, headed by our roommate, the very Rebbi R__ W________ TransZionist Movement of somethingIforgot...he was dressed in a pleather feathered bird cape- but that's another story. And all of these churches are spun from the earlier days of the Church of the SubGenius Foundation which was then truly absurd and not so bitter as it seems now. "Pull the wool over your own eyes" is the best advice ever.
We're off to yell at people faster than us along Sierra Road. Look for the yahoos in plaid on yer live interweeb coverage. We'll be looking for local boy made good, Taylor Tolleson. Git em, Taylor!
Last year's Best Young Rider.
This year all around good guy, and ?Thursday's stage through Big Sur offers real fine viewing opportunities...who's with us?

I took the quiz.......I'm Audrey Horne? Is that good? I have crossed dressed in the past, it could stem from that I suppose.
Dang, that's real good. I might wanna git to know you better. It shouldn't surprise, though, considering the jello body shots, and the vinyl pants table top incidents. Moab sure knows how to have a good time.
