THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN CLIMBS THE WATER TOWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VILLAGE

The Gonzo Daily - Monday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

Today has a vague feeling of unreality about it and I am not sure why. The Internet is still insanely sluggish, NatWest online banking isn't working and the confirmation e-mail from BT about their engineer visit later in the week, (which had better sort out my internet access or else) had them going to the wrong address. But I am not even slightly cross. Why? Normally, by this stage I would be in the mental state of one of those disaffected postal workers who, so I am told, climb the water tower in the middle of the town with a high-powered rifle and start taking pot-shots at random strangers. But I am not. I am calm and happy, and have just eaten a steaming hot bowl of Singapore noodles. OK, there isn't a water tower in the middle of Woolsery, and no-one is stupid enough to let me have a firearm of any description....

*  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?
