THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS INTERESTED

I made a severe error of judgement on Saturday. The weather was lovely, and it was quite mild, and so I asked young Matthew to put all the plants that have been hiding in the conservatory all winter, outside. Yesterday we had a frost, and despite there being no obvious damage to my lantana and banana bushes, Graham has just had to put all twenty of them back in the conservatory. I feel mildly guilty. Because of the Gonzo release of the Manassas volume in the 'Lost Tapes' series, I have been inspired to work through Stephen Stills' back catalogue on Spotify. I had forgotten how good some of these albums are! I got hold of the latest Nelson DeMille novel last week. It's a corker, so I am currently working my way backwards through his series of novels featuring John Corey and Kate Mayfield. If you have not read them, and are an afficianado of tight, well crafted thrillers, check them out.

Lars Thomas and his two sons arrive tomorrow from Denmark for a few days, and I will have a houseful all week. The blogs will be posted, but normal scheduling might go a little awry...

*  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 (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and a not very small orange kitten (who isn't) puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cats?
