I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

The snow is clearing but it is colder than it has been all winter. I hope that this is not too late to act as an appropriate trigger to the wildflowers, which need to be frozen for a time to grow properly, and the butterflies who need a period of freeze to kill parasites. We found out why the tank water was pink in the caecilian tank - it was the fact that we had tried feeding them on dried shrimps, which they ignored. I am still annoying all and sundry by sitting with my nose in Keith Richards's  autobiography, and cackling wildly when I get to particularly funny bits. He is an excellent and completely unpretentious writer (a bit like he is a guitarist) and I hope that he sets pen to paper again in the future.

*  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 same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

*  Jon Downes, the editor of all these ventures 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, which he shares with various fish and batrachians. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus... did we mention the orange cat?
