So, here we go. Another day and a revolution to be plotted. OK, maybe not quite but there is all sorts of interesting stuff afoot. For those of you interested, the latest issue of UFO Matrix, of which I am the editor, is imminent, and whilst on the subject of things saucerlike, I just want to inform you all that Haunted Skies will not be publishing further volumes with us. The first six volumes will stay in print for the time being. Our month long exhibition at Barnstaple Museum starts on saturday, and mother is still staying with us...
And golly, is it just me, or is the new Rolling Stones single rather good?
Our daily visit to Thom the World Poet
Helen McCookerybook shows solidarity to beleagueredRussian punks 'Pussy Riot'.
I really must be getting old. Back in the day I would party all night and then work all day, but yesterday, after only having had about three hours kip, it knocked me for six, so I have not yet managed to process any of the Jefferson Starship or Auburn video. I am also going to be at Barnstaple Museum for much of the day, so I don't know whether it will be done today either. But what I do have for you is some exclusive pix from Jefferson Starship's soundcheck the other night...
A review of the Gonzo DVD of Captain Beefheart, from the Lost Broadcasts series, with a brief note from Jon. This review is mildly interesting because although it is a good one, the reviewer complains that the DVD is not long enough. However, as the series states, the DVDs include everything from those sessions and it would mess with the integrity of the series to add outside material
Much the same applies here. This review of The Move Lost Broadcasts DVD is by the same bloke from the same source. Again it is positive, but once again he complains that it is not long enough. My comments above apply.
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...
The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The Editor is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
We have had two new arrivals this week.
First of all we have been donated a new tarantula that's a little
bit special. It is a Swimming tarantula Hysterocrates gigas one of the
few species of tarantula that will hunt for fish by actually entering water to
ambush them. They usually sit at the edge of a water source used by fish with
their front legs resting on the water surface feeling for vibrations. 
Secondly We have a new male Green iguana Iguana iguana (even
though he is actually orange-red) donated from a local pet shop where he used to
be kept together with a female. About a year ago a fight broke out in their
enclosure and the female decided to bite the end off his tail giving him his
name - Stumpy. Anyway Stumpy is settling in well and is now getting along fine
with our large female iguana Princess. Stumpy's original owner decided it would
be nice to retire him into our butterfly flight area and allow him the freedom
of the semi wild display in his old age. 
New at Frontiers of Zoology:
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we should have a go at publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. In September 2012, Emma Osborne decided that the Mystery Cat Study Group really deserved a blog of its own within the CFZ Blog Network.
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that - whereas the study of out of place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot, or lake monsters - it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean Zoologist to be interested in. So, after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo, Corinna has taken the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.
