Twin Peaks and Discordianism


As I recently reported, the next John Higgs book will be about David Lynch. In an email, John mentions a connection between the world of Twin Peaks and Discordianism:

"There's a few connections between Discordianism - if not RAW - and Lynch. The most prominent is Grace Zabriskie, who played Sarah Palmer in Twin Peaks and who is in a few more of Lynch's films. She was in a relationship with Kerry Thornley, and her sister, Lane Caplinger, photocopied the first five copies of the Principia on Jim Garrison's photocopier."

See Adam Gorightly's Historia Discordia website for more on Grace Zabriskie.  Also, see the Wikipedia bio, which cites her friendship with Kerry Thornley.
