Loch Ness Monster captured on film

THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS OLDER

Yesterday was a nice quiet day at home with Corinna and the animals. Many people would probably have been surprised if they had been a fly on the wall. (Well, I'm SURE that they would have been surprised if they had suddenly been transformed - like a New Age Gregor Samsa - into a fly on the wall, but you know what I mean). When there are people around I am sociable; I drink, I smoke, I party. But now that the biggest weekend of the year has gone for another 11 months and three weeks, I spent my birthday dozing in the chair, reading P.G.Wodehouse, eating low sugar curry and playing with the kittens. I also chatted to Judge Smith about various projects and continued listening to 'The disappearance of the girl` by Phildel, which really is an extraordinary album. If you don't know about this young lady and her singular story, then look her up. You won't be disappointed.

German Steve Hillage review
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/08/german-steve-hillage-review.html

 

*  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 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?

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES

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.

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today

Yesterday’s News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

On this day in 2007 the bones of Grand Dutches Anastasia were found along with those of her brother and heir to the Russian throne, Tsarevich Alexei. Over the years several people have claimed to be Anastasia but D.N.A. Testing of the bones found has shown them all up as cynical con artists content to trade off the name of a murdered girl.
