THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS IN A HURRY

The Gonzo Daily - Saturday
 
This is a particularly hectic time at the CFZ. Graham is away with his mother and sister, and Richard is here all week. I was recording all yesterday afternoon and evening with Mike David, and he (together with a young lady from Fremington who apparently has a Joss Stonesqe bluesy soul voice) will be back later, and also tomorrow. Expect some new material imminently.
 
This, however, is where I should probably warn you about the events of next weekend. Corinna and I will be away on Thursday and not returning until Saturday. The blogs will continue uninterrupted, and the next week's issue of Gonzo Weekly will be out either before we go or when we come back. BUT, and this is the big BUT, because neither Graham or me will be here, and because Richard has the computer skills of a three toed sloth with some peculiar learning disorder, there are unlikely to be any e-mail notifications for a couple of days.
 
Why? Corinna and I are going to Manchester to see Peter Gabriel, and then down to Oakham to collect Mother and bring her down here for the winter. Normal service will, I sincerely hope, be resumed by next weekend...
 
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:

* 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?
