Filmed in Preston, Idaho, about 100 miles north of where I lived and worked in Utah about the time it was filmed.

Also home, at least at the time, of inmate and renowned and all around good guy and speaker builder Duke LeJeune of Audio Kinesus. On a visit to Duke's place a few year ago, he took me on a tour of Preston and I was able to drive by 'Pedro's' house!

I guess one has to live in the 'Inter-Mountain' region of the country for a while to understand exactly how well 'Napoleon Dynamite' captures the 'prevailing culture'.

After seeing the movie it was impossible to walk into a local Subway Sandwich shop and not burst out laughing just watching the folks working behind the counter.

First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
