The minute we moved in (1712 North Crescent Heights), Dennis Hopper decided to give a party for Andy (Warhol), who was coming out to Los Angeles, and he decided that the one thing that would really make the house stand out, fabulously, would be billboards. So he papered the downstairs bathrooms with billboards. He had also decided that the food at the party would be hot dogs and chili. So we had a hot-dog stand! And Dennis had found huge papier-mâché Mexican figures with firecrackers hanging on them. . Brooke Hayward
About This Quote

In the 1970s Los Angeles, a group of artists and artists’ friends lived together in a house at 1712 North Crescent Heights. The house was built by artist and product designer William Pereira in 1969 for his own use, but after his death it was given to the artists as a home. In June 1972, a party was given there to introduce Andy Warhol to the Los Angeles art scene. Among those who attended were David Bowie, Lou Reed, Edie Sedgwick, Mick Jagger, Dennis Hopper, Grace Jones and Ken Kesey.
