Good evening

musical, linguistic objects.

Greetings from Cyberdelic Space.

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

And I figured out that it's about time to give you a little update about what's been going on with the salon this past month.

In fact, I guess that I should begin this podcast like I was taught as a boy in Catholic school.

And since I know that there are a lot of fellow salonters here who also went through those

days of mental child abuse, you'll remember saying something like, it has been one week

since my last confession. Of course, today I'd have to say that it's been over 50 years since my last confession, but I digress.

It's only been five weeks since my last podcast.

However, as many of you already know, for the first two months of the lockdown here in California,

I was hosting four live salons every week.

We're down to two a week now, however, and while I send an email announcement with that day Zoom link to each of my supporters on Patreon, well, during the pandemic, I'm also posting that information on the psychedelic salon's Discord server, where there are already hundreds of the others getting to know one another. And I'll tell you all about that and a few other things that are going on

here in the salon, but first I want to thank those fellow saloners who have been so generous in

their support for these podcasts. First of all, even though a few dollars a month may not seem like much,

collectively, the 400 core members of the salon who contribute through Patreon each month

have, well, have essentially become my financial backbone. And while some of them have had to

drop out due to their own financial distress from losing their jobs and other things,

other people have stepped in and filled the gap, so a huge thanks to all of you.

Also, there are some fellow slaughterers who have made direct donations through PayPal and who

have been with me for many years now. In particular, I'd like to thank Thomas and Christine from Southern California,

and from even farther south, all the way from down under, in fact, I want to thank KD.
