Hello

Greetings from Cyberdelic Space

This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon.

And today's podcast features the first of the Palenque Norte lectures that were given at last

year's Burning Man Festival. Now, you may wonder why it's taken so long for me to begin

releasing these recordings, so I'm going to tell you.

Now, if you don't live here in the States, well, you may not get this joke.

But when a young child fails to turn in their homework at school, they would sometimes say,

The dog ate my homework.

Well, I'm going to give you that excuse on steroids.

You see, a tornado ate my recordings.

Actually, they weren't my recordings. They belonged to fellow saloner and longtime friend of the salon, Frank Nusio.

Now, what happened was that after returning from the burn last year and just as he was getting settled back into the default world, well, a tornado came through Dallas and wiped out a number

of businesses, including his.

And that was where the computer was that held the Plankanorte recordings from 2019.

It took many weeks before FEMA would even let him back in to look through

the rubble, but when he did, Frank found his computer and, well, it worked well enough for him to

recover these recordings for us. So thanks a million, Frank. Without you, the 2019 Plankanke

Norte lectures would have been lost forever.
