THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN GOES TO WEST BROMWICH

The Gonzo Daily - Monday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

And so another week begins. The weekend was enjoyable because Mike Davis and I were cooking on gas and finished three new songs. Meanwhile, Richard is preparing for the CFZ Australia expedition to Tasmania in a week's time. Graham is still on holiday with his mother and sister, and we still have no car. I would like to apologise to Barbara Dickson - we had planned to go as her guests to Yeovil last week to see her show, but our current transport-less state precluded this. Sad but true.

However, we are getting a hire car and travelling to Manchester on Thursday. We will be meeting up with the lovely Miss Crystal Grenade, and later going to see Peter Gabriel (hopefully visiting the skeleton of Maharajah the elephant, and The Manchester Moth in the Natural History Museum along the line). What an exciting life we live....

Another visit to our old friend Thom the World Poet.

*  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: www.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 54 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?
