THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS MILDLY HUNGOVER

The Gonzo Daily - Wednesday
 
Yesterday was a very productive, but slightly strange day. Saskia our intern was here all day, and we worked incessantly on Matt Salusbury's book on Pygmy Elephants. During the day - as one does - we were talking about music, and she very shyly asked me whether I had heard of "a band called The Ramones"? To this, I burst out laughing and sand a few lines of 'Pinhead' and the rest of the day passed famously. However the evening was marred by the escape of one of Corinna's pet rats, which meant that all the carnivores were bundled off tpo bed with me so Corinna could catch the errant rodent (a process which took most of the night). I woke up late covered in dogs and cats, staggered downstairs to find Corinna (looking serene as ever) asleep on the sofa. Graham plied us each with hot beverages and Wednesday seems fair to continue as normal...

*  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?
