Stromberg suggested he work on his music some more and they could try again another time. That meant the Manson family needed somewhere to stay. They crashed at a few places in Topanga Canyon, LA's hippie hotspot. A lot of musicians lived there, and Charles spent a lot of time trying to connect with them. But they didn't think he was all that talented, and they brushed him off.

Even though Charles had plenty of loyal followers at this point, he decided he wanted to grow the family even more. He used the new environment to recruit more people, including 18-year-old Paul Watkins, the family's second male recruit, Ruth Ann Morehouse, a girl who Charles had been trying to get to join them for a while, and Dee Dee Lansbury, actress Angela Lansbury's teenage daughter.

He liked to send the girls into the city to make friends with anyone who could introduce him to the right people. And sometime in the spring of 1968, it paid off when a couple of them befriended Dennis Wilson, the drummer of the Beach Boys.
