THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS KING OF THE WILD FRONTIER

My life gets stranger. As I have written elsewhere, I went to see Adam Ant with his rather swish new band, playing a set of punky favourites from the early days and the best bits of his rather nifty (in parts) new album. He was excellent. Corinna went with me, but for various reasons (explained elsewhere) so did my 83 year old Mother-in-Law, and a massively eccentric composer friend of mine. Add to that the fact that I had no sleep on Thursday night, then you will understand why I am running a little late this weekend.

 

The pond is now fully functional and various goldfish and newts that were made homeless when it was removed from its previous home, have now been rehomed. Jessica and Matthew have done a brilliant job and are presently removing years of detritus from my conservatory prior to some major building work by Graham (needed to stop it falling down). Hey Ho!

*  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?
