I've been watching his movies in anticipation of the jam and will probably end up taking inspiration from bits of all of them and Twin Peaks. But the thing that I'm probably taking the most inspiration from is a passage from his book Catching the Big Fish:
"I used to go to Bob's Big Boy restaurant just about every day from the mid-seventies until the early eighties. I'd have a milk shake and sit and think.
There's a safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milk shake, and you can go off into strange dark areas, and always come back to the safety of the diner."
