THE GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN HAS...............

The Gonzo Daily - Thursday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

I had a doctor's appointment mid morning so, although I did some bloggystuff before I went, I am doing the vast majority of it now. Graham and I were on TV last night, and although I haven't seen it yet (and quite possibly won't bother) apparently it was OK. Weirdly, as I was leaving the consulting room and limping down the corridor a pretty young nurse came rushing up to me and gasped "Oooh you were on TV last night, this is so exciting!" I muttered something appropriate and signed the proffered NHS appointment pad with my name and a scribbled picture of a chicken (which probably confused her). In these decadent days, Television is the new God, and anyone who appears on TV (even for ten minutes talking about 'The Great Devon Mystery' of 1851, is fleetingly endowed with this neodivinity. I really find it most disturbing. But it is only a month until Christmas and I always find myself becoming more elderly and cantankerous as the old year shambles to a halt. Bah! PS If anyone wants to see it, it is on the ITV version of iPlayer, and it is 'Mystery Map Episode 2'. If anyone can actually bootleg it for me, I would be rather pleased...

*  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?
