THE WRITING ROUTINE
David Lynch: "'I like things to be orderly,' Lynch told a reporter in 1990. 'For seven years I ate at Bob's Big Boy. I would go at 2:30, after the lunch rush. I ate a chocolate shake and four, five, six, seven cups of coffee - with lots of sugar. And there's lots of sugar in that chocolate shake. It's a thick shake. In a silver goblet. I would get a rush from all this sugar, and I would get so many ideas! I would write them on these napkins. It was like I had a desk with paper. All I had to do was remember to bring my pen, but a waitress would give me one if I remembered to return it at the end of my stay. I got a lot of ideas at Bob's.'"

Now up on the YT channel. Footage of the “Songs and Poems of St. Augustine.” Thank you Clay Blasser for documenting this top notch mash up of poetry and music. Lunch time has a special place in my heart and I was in my zone for this performance. Thank you for this awesome opportunity. Check out the 55 minute video on ACP 📺
