THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS BACK IN THE JUG AGANE

The Gonzo Daily - Thursday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

Things are beginning to get back to normal. Not only is my broadband working but it is faster than it has ever been. And (although I am probably tempting fate by writing this) it hasn't glitched out once. I went through over a thousand emails yesterday. Please - if you have written to me and are expecting a reply that hasn't arrived - can you re-write? It is quite possible that I deleted something that I shouldn't have done, and I would hate you to think that I did it on purpose.

On another good note. Volume Two of The Journal of Cryptozoology came out yesterday. The European, Japanese and British orders have been dispatched already. The UK ones will be sent out by Naomi West, and have been ordered for her, and the Australian ones will be sent out by Rebecca Lang (ditto). After weeks of highly frustrating (both for me and for everyone who ordered one) faffing about, it is all sorted. Hooray!

*  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?
