David Lynch Cafe :)

One part of the cafe


This was the David Lynch Cafe.  I saw it last year or in the winter, and this time I managed to find it again.  The first time I just remarked at how cool it was, but this time I actually got a coffee, and it was quite delicious.

Here is a quote from Lynch, "Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way."





The man himself, so so cool.  We talked about movies, and art.  I showed her my family pictures, and she showed me her paintings.  It was a very fun and relaxing time.

and me posing for a cool picture as usual.

I don't actually think it is called the David Lynch cafe, but it is for me at least.

I found the aesthetic of the place to be reminiscent of his film Eraserhead or Moholand Drive.  It had a kind of Western kitchey feel, while at the same time having antique style furnishings.  If I owned a cafe it would be hard to top this in terms of style.

It almost felt like an antique shop, mostly because of the hunks of old looking metal hung about the place, what is apparent about these pieces is that they are not the kind of things you normally see in those trendy shops, in other words not the typical things like Green lamp with gold trimmings, or the telephone with the brass and varnished wood.
