lynch : still popular in the pacific northwest
Late sleeping fans of David Lynch, transcendental meditation, or both will be disappointed to read that his Seattle appearance next month to talk about “Consciousness, Creativity, and the Brain” [#] “sold out” in a matter of hours this morning. The guy who put Snoqualmie Falls on the cultural map, albeit with a different name and in a different place called Twin Peaks, will be in town on November 7th with his friends from last year’s cult hit, What the Bleep Do We Know?. Although all reserved seats are taken, this is the sort of University Bookstore type event that also seats people on a first-come, first-served basis; so ticketless fans might do well to show up early to stake out a good spot in line, meditate, chat up other Log Lady devotees, or snack on a slice of cherry pie.
Until then, you can just tune in for his daily weather webcast. [davidlynch].

Hi. “Critical me” is back. I’m weak. You mentioned David Lynch and I just HAD to respond.
I was curious why you lumped in the “What The Bleep Do We Know” and transcendental meditation fans with folks who would be interested in seeing David Lynch.
Since “Eraser Head” and “Elephant Man” I have been a huge fan of David Lynch. He’s a good story teller. The series “Twin Peaks” was a series that many of us old folk (I’m 48) were GLUED to. “Twin Peaks” was the most engrossing, original and “out there” prime time series I had ever seen. It was great to see David Lynch’s influence in the comercial television world. He radically altered the way comercial televison programs were written afterwards. “Northern Exposure” was the first quirky off shoot, and HBO has benefited from David Lynch’s writing legacy. Now “Twin Peaks” may look like just another “new age” show to the young’ns, but the show was pioneering when it first aired.
I just don’t see the relationship between the transcendal meditation folks and the “What the Bleep” people with David Lynch. Am I wrong?
I’m just sensitive that way.
I apolgize now if I have to elbow you out of my “ticket free” way to see him. I’ll buy you a beer (or five) later at The Big Time.

Drury, if you followed the link in Josh’s post, you would find that this is the first sentence of the second paragraph describing David Lynch’s appearance at the UW Bookstore:
Lynch will speak about his films and about his 30 year relationship with Transcendental Meditation, and its role in his creative process.
Boy, I feel REALYY stupid now.
I admit that I didn’t follow the link. When I read Josh’s blog entry I thought he was poking fun at David Lynch fans as being “woo woo” folks. Yes, there is a strong spiritual element to Lynch’s work, but….I’ll just shut up now.
I’m glad the two of you could work that out without my intervention.
