THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN RESTS HIS CASE

Another week dawns, and it is damp and grey. We have quite a full day ahead of us because we are getting together all the equipment that Richard needs to take to Sumatra. Yes, he is off to Sumatra for the fifth time on the 25th June. We are filming a little piece later today during which he discusses his objectives for the trip. Weird Weekend tickets are selling consistently, but we can always sell a few more. This may end up being the last ever one, so buy your tickets early. I am starting work on next weekend's Gonzo magazine, and it is shaping up to be a real corker...

Good old Google News Alerts. I was looking for material on Alan Davey, the ex-Hawkwind bassist, and got this fascinating BBC story about Alan Davey from the Arts Council. I agree with much that he has to say

*  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?
