I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

What a Day!! I was up bright and early and feeling relatively sane, and came downstairs with a cheerful spring in my step! OK that last line is a lie; I was shuffling along like an old git propped up on my walking stick as ever, but I had a conceptual spring in my step. I switched on my computer and went online, and managed to download about 2/3 of my emails before the internet connection conked out. It has been intermittent all day until now, but the peculiar thing is that when we telephoned BT, they had no knowledge of the outages. We therefore assumed it was all down to our fairly ropey equipment, but throughout the day we have been receiving news that everyone that we have spoken to in North Devon, and other folk across the country, even as far abroad as Rob Ayling up in the frozen north have told me that they have also had patchy internet access. How about you guys out in readersville?

Despite the unintentional tardiness we are feeling somewhat chuffed today

*  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

 

* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) 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?
