THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS OVER THERE SOMEWHERE

The Gonzo Daily - Wednesday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

It's quite odd being carless, but the really weird thing is that, at the moment at least, it doesn't impact on our lives that much. Corinna has an appointment in Barnstaple so she went in on the bus, and I am doing this week's shopping online. Apart from that things are much the same. I am sure that we will get a car sooner rather than later, but I am waiting until the right one comes along. I am just approaching the magnificently peculiar climax of the Illuminatus Trilogy, and I expect to have finished it today or tomorrow. I am enjoying it massively, but will be glad when it is over because I have been reading it solidly and have a backlog of other things to read...

 

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?
