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...

I'M THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN


It's Sunday, so again its time,
to do the daily blog in rhyme,
working for Gonzo is good (don't you know it)
'cos I don't get sacked for being a poet,
if reading this in your own homes,
you dignify this doggerel by calling it poems,
but I'm just lowly bloggo staff,
and once a week this makes me laugh.

So we start off with a big surprise,
Dan Wooding at the two Is
which was (this may come as a shock)
the birthplace of all British rock:
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/06/dan-wooding-at-2is.html

and now, live on a festival stage
the delectable Mimi Page,
and an audience too in awe to hector
as she sings 'Butterfly' with Bassnectar:

And next (I promise this ain't fake, man)
a link to an interview with Rick Wakeman
and sadly (stifling a cough)
the Crystal Palace gig is off:

And next we all can take a look,
at the work of Helen McCookerybook,
and the album she has made with Martin,
my praise for this is only startin':

Now I thought it would be jolly,
to introduce the daughter of that bloke from Wally,
a talented lady (its not a myth)
so here is Haley Glennie-Smith
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/06/introducing-haley.html

And last (but not least) I must mention,
a strange review of Auburn's Liz Lenten,
with some notes from me, saying I've read better,
cos on the whole he doesn't get her:
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/06/auburn-liz-just-is.html

So that's about it for this week,
and although my poetry's quite weak,
I hope that you all have a fun-day
and we'll be back without the rhymes on monday.
