WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN?

The Gonzo Daily - Thursday
The Internet Access is back to normal - back to normal for us I mean, which is about 5% of the superfast speed one would get in a city. Why it took nearly a week for British Telecom to do what I asked them to do in the first place, I am not sure. But "ours not to just stand still, ours just to pay the bill", as Tennyson would probably have said about the Charge of the Electricity Brigade. We heard the first news from the Australia expedition via a message on Rebecca's Facebook page: 'Finally found a wi-fi connection - yay! Been interviewing some wonderful witnesses, visiting some great locations and even found a quoll skull today! Jonathan McGowan and I stumbled across it and now he has a great souvenir of the trip. Really loving everything! (Except maybe the cold.)'
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?
