Helter Skelter shelter 10066 Cielo Drive used to be numbered 10050, the original house razed, a new one built on the grounds, but the creepy vibes are definitely still here. And the sickos show up to be photographed before these locked gates. This photo was taken Aug. 9, 2009, on the 40th anniversary of the Manson kilings. Photograph by Christie Mullikin Jones, my equally ghouish sister.
A moonwalk off a short pier Jacko isn't dead. He's just gone home to Neverland. Or, in this photo, to the Santa Monica Pier for a photo op on July, 19, 2009. Photo by an unamused photographer who charged $6 to record this chance meeting between the King of Pap and the King of Pop. Photographer unknown
Home, Flippin' Sweet, Home Sitting on steps of Napoleon Dynamite's "house" in Preston, Idaho, April 7, 2009. The real owner allowed us to photograph her home, explaining we were among the thousands of people who've sought out the humble brick farmhouse over the years. Photo by Brendan Patrick Mullikin
Nix on that John Dean (left), White House Counsel to President Richard Nixon from July 1970 until April 1973. Convicted of multiplefelonies as a result of Watergate, he went on to become a key witness for the prosecution, resulting in a reduction of his time in jail. Upon hearing that my cocker spaniel is named Checkers -- after Nixon's famous cocker spaniel -- Mr. Dean's smile turns icy. Photo taken at Bear Pond Books in Montpelier, Vt., Oct. 6, 2006. Photographer unknown
Acid reflux Las Vegas' Fremont Street hosted Woodstock TributePalooza on the 40th anniversary of the original festival. Modern technology made it possible for this fringed-jacketed time traveler to attend both events simultaneously. Photograph by Christie Mullikin Jones
Paparrazi take note Tickling the ivories with jazz pianist Lisa Hilton Sept. 3, 2009, at Catalina's Bar & Grill on Sunset Blvd. I know a fine way to play a Steinway.
Not Peter and Gordon People were always confusing Chad and Jeremy (above) with Peter and Gordon (not above). Patrick, Jeremy and Chad mug for the camera following their Nov. 8, 2009, concert at Citrus College in Glendora, Calif. They still sound great -- just like in 1964.

A couple of swells Actor Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Free Willy) and Patrick get close and personal at the actor's 51st birthday party on Oct. 30, 2009, at Matteo's Restaurant in Westwod, Calif. Had I known the dress code I would have worn my ruffled shirt, too. Madsen said I looked like the old actor Stuart Granger. Photograph by Michael Naughton
Hooray for Hollyweird Dec. 5, 2009: The Museum of Death at 6031 Hollywood Blvd. is run by a guy named James Dean Healy and is chock-full of horrifying memorabilia and photos, including an entire room devoted to Charles Manson and the original dysfunctional Family. (Every home should have a Charles Manson room.) I traded Healy one Got Grammar? button for two Museum of Death buttons. Forty-eight-year-old Healy says he plans to be mummified once he leaves this mortal plane. If you visit, be sure to look for the original clown painting by John Wayne Gacy. Hmmm? James Dean Healy? John Wayne Gacy? Yikes! Get me the hell out of here. Photograph by Christie Mullikin Jones, my equally ghouish sister.
An on her indeed Aug. 5, 2010: In appreciation for a piece I wrote about him, muralist Andrew Sabori added my sullen likeness to a mural outside the Big Four Ranch in Ely, Nev. The woman to my left is one of the girls, Jodi, who worked at this brothel. The mural also includes a rendering of Dashiell Hammett, so I’m in pretty good company. My friend Glenn Jochum made the worst pun about children conceived at houses of prostitution, dubbing them "Brothel Sprouts."
