THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS HAPPY

The Gonzo Daily - Friday
 
Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my lobster. That's is a line you don't hear every day, but yesterday we took receipt of a half grown blue lobster from New Guinea, who is now  ensconced in a tank where Corinna's cane toads used to be (they are now in the kitchen underneath the vietnamese stick insects). He is a delightful and rather inquisitive little fellow (definitely a male because of the red stripes on his claws) and he has been diligently exploring his new home, and eating bits of shredded fish. Apparently he will also be fond of cucumber, which is peculiar because I can imagine that the cucumber count in New Guinea rivers is practically zero. However, some years ago when I had a tankful of smuggled Puerto Rico forest snails, they liked both cucumbers and dandelions, neither of which are found anywhere near PR. Weird huh?
 
I am half way through reading the new biography of George Harrison which might well be in this weekend's Gonzo Weekly together with interviews with Pam Windo, Percy Jones and features on Rick Wakeman and Hawkwind amongst all sorts of other things.

*  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?
