THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN EMULATES THE GOOD SOLDIER ŠVEJK

Yesterday I interviewed the lovely Carol Hodge, aka Miss Crystal Grenade. Her music has been described as "Shakespeare's Sister fighting Amanda Palmer and Tori Amos in a dimly lit Victorian pub. With hand deformities." Her album comes out this autumn. Today is Mother's 84th Birthday, and both Corinna and I are trying to find out what she would like to do this evening. However, because she is so determined not to cause anyone any trouble, she keeps on refusing to make a decision. It will probably end up being a seafood restaurant in Westward Ho! Richard comes up tomorrow to collect equipment for the next Sumatra expedition (he leaves on the 25th) which is all very exciting.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

*  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 two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) 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 cat?
