Greetings

Here in the psychedelic salon.

And first, the good news.

Our annual pledge drive has been a complete success.

Just this morning, we reached our goal of raising 12 months of operating expenses,

so I am now committed to continuing these podcasts from the salon through February of 2015, at the very least.

And on the last day of this month, I'll post another podcast with a wrap-up of the fun drive and give you some more details.

Also, just to let you know, I can already hear some of our fellow slonters groaning here.

But in case you missed it, the next phase of the Occupy movement begins on the 4th of April of this year, which is less than two weeks away.

It's called The Wave of Action, and I'll do a dedicated podcast on April 3rd about this three-month event.

But don't worry, the Wave of Action podcast will be interspersed with podcasts from the

2013 Palenke-Norte lectures and some new Terrence McKenum material as well.

And again, I'll have more to say about that in my next podcast.

For today, we get once again to hear from my old friend

Daniel Pinchbeck. And for what it's worth, Daniel and I first met at one of the intheobotany

conferences that were held near the Palinque Mexico ruins. At the time, Daniel was still writing,

breaking open the head, and I was writing the spirit of the internet.

Now, Daniel and I next met at Center Camp at Burning Man in 2002, and it was at that burn that I changed my name from Larry to Lorenzo, for what it's worth.

The following year, Daniel was a speaker at the very first Palenque Norte lectures, and you can hear that talk, which is titled A Change in How We Experience Time in Podcasts No. Four here in the salon.

And now, almost 400 podcasts later, including half a dozen or so with Daniel, we are about to listen to his 2013 Poincke-Norte
