Notes: Lost at Last is an ethno-trance band from Hawaii. This show, billed as "Countdown to 2012: A Celebration of Life & Logos of Terence McKenna" was a benefit to raise money for McKenna's family to help pay for the medical expenses left over from his death earlier in the year. Before he left, Phil read a poem by Robert Hunter (track 7 of the second disc) writen on 12-13-00. Here is the text of that poem:

A wealthy soul hath he,
a bellicose capacity for wonder
as braving the dread
tactility of infinite ice
he astonishes angels
at their orisons,
consorts with actual imps
in virginal dimensions
holy and obscure.

There is no tongue
he does not speak:
chemic, mathematic,
philosophic rap
nor thunder rattle,
no Medusa hath he
left uncourted
where she sits
beside eliptic windows
contemplating Asia
in the setting sun.

Salutations thou who
was and is and is not.
Ave Atqua Vale.
There is no death
only final preparation
to discover
all numbers
are multiples of one.
