Dave B-P and I got home early yesterday
evening. We had a smashing time in Brighton; Mick Farren is a lovely bloke and
the band were all delightful. We came back with a load of video interviews and
the whole concert filmed on two cameras. Because I couldn't resist it, I did a
rough cut of Dave's and my favourite song which is posted today, and other bits
and bobs will be posted over the next few days. Expect a Deviants front cover
for next week's Gonzo Weekly.
Helen is giving Prudence and Corinna lift
to the vet, so hopefully I will have some better news soon about Pru's leg. We
still have no car: I am expecting to be told tomorrow that the Daihatsu is
completely kaput, and so the search for a replacement vehicle will begin in
earnest.
* 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, 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?
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 took the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.
