WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

DIRECTOR'S DIARY: And the beat goes on..

I am not firing on all four cylinders today. My usual ailments are mixed with the end of a head cold, and I am feeling mildly sorry for myself. On The Track should be finished today (if I can stay out of bed long enough) and the 2010 Yearbook is still on track to be published tomorrow or Tuesday.

Oll arrived back last night after a horrific journey compounded by a fire on a goods train at Bristol (sounds gloriously Perrinesque), and is busying himself with cleaning reptile tanks and tending to the animals (all of whom, with the exception of a solitary triops and an elderly female guppy) have survived what is euphemistically referred to as `the festive season` intact.

Various books are imminent: Daintree Diaries by Carl Portman, The Great Yokai Encyclopaedia by Richard Freeman, and the first of five volumes of Haunted Skies are hopefully gonna be around in the next few weeks. Weird Weekend tickets will be on sale in a week or so, and the Weird Weekend website will be updated.

So just keep your fingers crossed for the mystick power of an alchemical combination of lemsip and mirtazapine, and let's get on with it.
