ROCKY HORROR
"DIDN'T WE PASS A CASTLE?"

The Crossroads Of The World is located at 6671 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.
This is where we had our Transylvanian Party Castle.
Built in 1936 by Robert V. Derrah, it was one of the first open-aired shopping centers in the United States.
It looks like an ocean liner surrounded by a small village of cottage-style bungalows.
I always called it our "Transylvanian Fishing Village".
(Which makes no sense, since Transylvanian is land-locked...but it sounded cool.
)
Today it's private offices, just as it it was when we invaded the complex in April 1981.
Hale, Jason, and I opened up Van Nuys Freight & Supply at the complex as a telephone sales boiler room.
Our neighbors were The Knack, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, and Andrew Gold.
Since we were all ROCKY HORROR fans, it became "Rocky HQ" for The Tiffany cast.
The booze flowed, and the reefers were always lit, and there was also the occasional Quaalude.
Everyone was welcome, although, I did have to throw out Buddy Miles.
I don't care if he played with Hendrix. He was a loud-mouthed douche bag.


We had 2 adjoining rooms. The main office, and a larger room with tables and telephones.
The main room was where all the fun usually took place, and the other room was the "Private Area."
We strived at all times to keep it all fun.
I remember coming back from hosting a ROCKY HORROR convention in Anaheim, tripping on LSD.
Rodney On The Roq was on the radio with The Go-Go's as his guests.
They were being really obnoxious & funny...something about horses on the beach.
I sat on the couch and watched the walls melt. I laughed a lot that day.
Down the street was the Florentine Gardens, where I saw numerous punk shows.
Most notably, X, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, The Gears, Mission Of Burma, and Green On Red.

In July 1981, Rick Sloane produced, wrote, and directed "Clown Whores Of Hollywood" outside Crossroads.
It was the first film I ever did. That's me getting the pie in the face.

It was at Crossroads that I fell in love for the very first time in my life.
I was walking air and on Top Of The World. My life was perfect.
