Summary

Guest speaker: Kathleen Wirt PROGRAM NOTES: Today we feature a talk given by Kathleen Wirt, the hostess of the legendary salon that took place in Venice, California. While the stories Kathleen tells are of interest from an historical point of view, they are also very informative for anyone who is also interested in starting a salon in their area. Kathleen's talk was given at the inaugural session of the Aware Project Salon, which has picked up the torch and is carrying this work to a new generation. You may know about Leary and McKenna, but if you don't know about Kathleen's Venice Salon you only have part of the historical story.

0:14.7	Greetings from Cyberdelic Space. This is Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the Psychedelic Salon.
0:23.5	And if I had the time and energy right now, I would play one of those old-time radio clips that goes

0:45.9	And I'm happy to report that we are almost funded through the end of this calendar year.
0:50.2	So a big thank you to all of our donors who hopefully have already received a personal email from me,
0:56.1	along with a PDF copy of my novel, The Genesis Generation.
1:00.6	As you know, for this month-long fun drive, I've been playing a seldom heard Terrence McKenna workshop from June of 1994.
1:08.6	And by the way, I am aware that the static in that conversation is a bother, but I wasn't
1:14.5	able to remove it with the tools that I have available.
1:17.4	Apparently, his microphone had a short in it, so I'm sorry for the distraction, but since
1:22.8	I hadn't been able to find this particular series on the net anywhere else, I thought that,
1:26.9	well, we can put up
1:27.9	with a bit of static and not lose whatever newly shaped ideas the Bard McKenna came up with.
1:34.2	Anyway, that is the program that I'm going to interrupt right now.
1:38.8	There's still at least one more and maybe two more McKenna talks in that series that I have
