"SOMETHING'S HAPPENING!" ON THE WEB

KPFK can be heard streaming live online at http://www.kpfk.org/ and click on 'Listen Live.' Times are Pacific Time. Program times for "Something's Happening!" are approximate but close and "Monday night" is legally Tuesday morning et seq.



WHAT HAPPENED?

Any program information not included in the program guide - guests, websites, contact information, music and comedy breaks, etc. can be found later at http://www.somethingshappening.com and click on 'what happened?' Thanks to Sha Tahmasebi for redesigning and maintaining the website.



AUDIO ARCHIVES

"Something's Happening!" (and the Sunday 'Alan Watts') are available for listening on demand for 60 days after broadcast. Go to www.kpfk.org and click on 'Audio Archives.' Be sure to use the handy search engine to list only the program (s) you are interested in listening to. "Something's Happening!" and "Alan Watts" are not downloadable because they contain program material which is not owned by Pacifica.





BEHIND THE SCENES

I am taking two weeks off for a needed rest and catchup – Buzz will be host and board operator and I will be producing the show, with his assistance.



The year-end fund drive finished Friday - I don't know how close we got to the hoped for goal but it was close. I owe great thanks to Buzz who was with us every minute, John B. who came in early every morning and made a big difference in our totals, and of course Diane of Hollywood who kept things warm, stable and more effective.

THURSDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 26



12-1 Alan Watts, “Veil of Thoughts” Parts 2 of 5

“Despite its marvelous achievements in many domains, the thinking process falls short of being able to penetrate its own veil to reach direct knowledge of the Self. This is directly clear to psychotherapists who have long known that merely ‘cerebral investigation’ does not illuminate the ‘Unconscious.’ But our strategies for self-knowledge seem always to get in their own way and somehow we have to creep up on the quarry without making a sound.” (AW)
