The way the air swirls about this particular cut-out of the mountain helps bring up the warm artistic energy of this place. Junk piles one may say, but no, it's just matter in between forms. Art brings this matter together to represent ideas and images. And they have some nice rooms you can come visit. Felt like visiting some distant cousin's place, not like an over-groomed hoity toity bed n breakfast stage set. The warm family-esque feeling came from them being home and available but minding their own. Staying at a living-museum type artifact is a wonderful feeling. Not far from LA, but you definitely get to visit another world.
