Yesterday was another fairly pleasant day.
I managed to do quite a lot, despite a little orange ball of fur rushing about
the house terrorising everyone except for Poppy the brown cat. Sh is the only
one who can keep Leo in his place. Prudence is scared of him, and everyone else
is in awe. He is rapidly taking over the house. The CFZ Yearbook is now finished
apart from the final proof which should be done today, and the reissue of Robert
Calvert's only novel 'Hype' is well underway. I also watched a documentary on
Steve Winwood on BBci Player last night, which has enthused me to relisten to
various Traffic albums and to Winwood's first solo album from 1977. It is the
first time I have listened to the latter since it first came out, and I had
forgotten how good it was. Jim Capaldi's percussion is almost irresistibly
funky.
* 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: http://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 53 who - together with his orange cat (who is
currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) puts it all together from a converted
potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with
various fish. 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?
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out of place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in. So after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo Corinna has taken the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.
