THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS HOT AND BOTHERED

It is another lovely day here in North Devon. Next weekend we shall be away at the Summer of Love (SOL) festival in Kent. Corinna and I will be accompanied by one of my nieces, Jess Taylor (yes, her from the Merrell Fankhauser video) and we shall be filming several of the acts including Judy Dyble and Martin Carthy. My weekly practice of exploiting child labour continues with Jess and her boyfriend Matthew who are here today doing garden-type stuff. Jess will later be sorting out my ridiculously messy office and is going to help with the final edits on Vol One of George Eberhart's 'Mysterious Creatures'. In the meantime I am listening to the latest album by Suede (which is really rather good) and enjoying the weather.

So... What's new on the Gonzo Daily?

*  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?
