Sunday comes around so fast
but yes,
another week has passed
so boys and girls, again its time
to do the Gonzo
blogs in rhyme
It's self indulgent (that I know)
but it
amuses me and so
once a week in rhyme I feed ya
the latest from Gonzo
Multimedia
And that's enough poetry for now
but we'll be
back next week (and how!)
* 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

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. 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?
