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 YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

The weather is much improved and it almost feels like a proper English summer here at last. Basically we are hoping that the weather will continue like this for a few more days so Graham can do the next bout of repairs that need to be done on the roof...

One of the traditional aspects of the British summer is the rock festival, where thousands of folk sit in a muddy field and listen to Hawkwind. And it is nice to see that on the outskirts of Bristol, Brisfest are continuing with this fine tradition...

Support for Michael Des Barres' new album 'Carnaby Street' continues apace, and Michael himself writes with some exciting news about a new celebrity endorsement..

I know that a lot of Jon Anderson's British fans have been looking wistfully at the parade of eulogistic reviews that I have been posting here on the Gonzo Daily, describing his recent US concerts in such terms that tempt us to fly across the Atlantic poste haste. That would, by the way, be pretty silly as the tour is now over. However, we have exciting news. Guess who will be appearing at Sadler's Wells next month?

Chris Thompson's new live album/DVD is getting solid reviews from his fanbase across Europe. Today, a Dutch review of this perrenial Gonzo Daily favourite.

This is the third day running that we have celebrated Erik Norlander's Portguese language following. And it is the third day on the trot I have spelt Portuguese correctly. Today Erik meets the Boys from Brazil...

And that is it for today. I am going off to crawl into a small burrow somewhere. Toodle-ooh
