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

It is another one of those greyish days which doesn't seem able to make its mind up whether it is going to rain or shine. Graham has gone into Bideford and I am hoping to have one of my gaggle of adopted nieces in the office for the afternoon, which will not only brighten up my day, but will make things easier..

A new biography of Motorhead apparently gives lotsa information (some of it unpublished) about Lemmy's tenure in Hawkwind. I am looking forward to reading it, so I must do myt best to blag a copy.

Trevor Rabin is one of the most unjustly overlooked Yes alumni. Not only did he make an unforgettable contribution to the band itself, but he has had a long, varied and interesting solo career. Herewith an interview.

I'm not sure how Rick Wakeman, who is a devout Christian feels about being described as a 'God'. In fact I don't know how I (who am also a Christian, albeit of a rather Zen type) feel about describing Rick as a 'God' despite the fact that he plays keyboards like an angel (oh dear this is getting confusing...)

For those of us males of a certain age the vision of a 6 foot tall naked Valkyrie dancing on stage with Hawkwind, is one of the defining images of our smutty adolescence. But what happened to Stacia after she put her clothes back on and left the band?

A couple of days ago Michael Des Barres was back on the Andy Dick show. Here is a backstage picture to prove it. Golly, I hope that there is video...

And finally, its our daily visit to the Universe of Thom the World Poet.

The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow
