On the website for the band Majestic Ape, I found this page when clicking on Baba's Mountain. It reads...
"Once a Year in Autumn, When the Air is Warm, A Signal is Transmitted - Who Will Be Waiting At Your Door?
Calling All Village Youth (harelips, freaks, trolls, him-shims, basement-dwellers and wormdicks):
You have heard the lore of Baba's Mountain from your brothers and sisters.
You have spent countless hours listening to the APES' Baba's Mountain record, searching for answers.
You have seen the graffiti on the walls. Captain 20's Children. Mount of the Child Generals. APES. Imp Ahh.
You have heard rumors of those gone missing: Adolescents, leaving their homes, wandering into the night and never being seen again. The melting of children into feed for the woodland animals.
Please ignore these rumors - rumors created by your teachers, the local media, parental figures. Ignore the ignorant teens-in-heat "blogs". Spurred by myth, inspired by whispers, many have written us from all over the world, wanting to know more about our mountain retreat.
Why not come see for yourself?
WHEN AND WHERE?
An all night celebration will commence on the last Saturday of October. In the evening, when a warm breeze stirs the leaves, you will know it is time. Place the mark on your door and listen for the horn of the Green Bus. Do not hesitate, for the bus will wait but a moment, and then be gone. The APES extend their hand in invitation, but that invitation is not for the slow of mind or foot. "
If you click 'Journey Onward' at the bottom it takes you to this...
"WHAT MAY I FIND … WAY UP THERE?
Up there, you can escape the Comas' transmissions
Up there, we will provide a home for all those willing to learn and burn
Up there, we will teach you to escape the trappings of The Mind
Up there, the apples speak, worms are on foot, and there is love for all beasts
Up there, youth is caught in time
Up there, things smell and taste better
WHO ARE THE COMAS?
They are your parents. Your neighbors. Your peers. All of those who are caught deep in a coma-like state, going through mechanical routines day after day after day. It is they who first created - and now serve - the Mind, the force that seeks to deaden us and chain us to the isolating habitual comforts of the past and the non-existent future. Seek shelter from these living dead before they infect you!
WHAT CAN I DO?
Accept this once-a-year invitation to the celebration.
Or stay in for the night and succumb to the infectious bite of the Comas! "
The next link takes you to a picture which says you are supposed to place that mark upon your door.
I wondered what 'Mount of the Child Generals' meant but could only find reference to it in regard to the apes. However, when I searched for 'Captain 20s Children' and came across this page
http://www.transformerdc.org/exhibitions/overview/captain-20s-children-c20c which says
" Witness for the first time the Rock Creek Park Portals and the Recruitment Center of Captain 20s Children. Inspired by Captain 20 himself (host of daytime TV shows for kids in the DC area in the 70s), the Children are conspirators of the imagination. They dwell in think-tanks where they make crafts and candles and work to spread the lure of the imagination. To keep the C20C alive.
Transformer presents a window into their world. You won't want to miss it!
Come meet your new "neighbors"?!
- * * But Where Did They Come From? * * *
Long ago, Captain 20 was a faithful guide, sage and soothsayer for the Latch-Key kids inhabiting the suburban dwellings in the townships of MaryLand. He occupied the timeless expanse during a child's day devoted solely to the imagination, a time when ideas were free flowing, unconcerned with what was going on in the world. Having a flashlight and a tablecloth, meant that you had a fort; hanging out with friends meant creating secret worlds. In the afternoon hours under the glowing TV eye of the Captain, the Latch-Key kids soon discovered 'secret portals' and began transporting themselves into what would become the world of C20C.
Today, Captain 20s Children create. They work to spread the lure of the imagination while working to defeat the Comas, those with their creative minds switched off--to keep the C20C alive. The portals take you to the not-so-far away environments of the creative, where the Children are trained in the ways of C20C. The Children are dreaming. They are the imagination. The imagination used to show what is going on.
Welcome to their Recruitment Center!"
I noticed it had a DC address so looked further, so randomly clicked 'collector's view' on the special events menu, which read
" Sharing the private collections of a select and diverse group of DC's leading contemporary art collectors through a series of special receptions, Transformer's annual spring Collector's View series highlights the relationship collectors have with artists, the role they play in building artists' careers, as well as their impact in creating healthy arts communities – while providing tremendous support for Transformer's exhibitions and programs.
Through the generosity of several leading DC contemporary art collectors, Transformer invites Collector's View participants into some of Washington's best homes for personal "views" of a diverse range of private art collections. Participants will be privy to learn, from an insider's perspective, the motivations, interests and passions of these dynamic collectors on the work they collect."
Remembering about the Podesta house art collection, I clicked through the 2016 images photos and lo and behold... guess who is on the photos of the of the listed houses...Yes, Mr JA himself! Gets around a bit doesn't he.
He is also in many of the previous year's photos but 2014 contains images at Tony Podesta's house which JA also attended.
Haven't checked the rest of the site yet as I thought I would put the findings here for now.

Yes I had noticed that and found it strange as there is no sign of anywhere to put a password into anyway, but I do not know website programming so don't know if it that is any sort of normal sql error.
