THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS IN FINE FETTLE

The Gonzo Daily - Friday
An ex-girlfriend of mine always said that you could tell what sort of mood I was in by the sort of music I was listening to. Today I am listening to 'Sexual Harassment in the Workplace' from Frank Zappa's Guitar album (1988). What that says about my mental health I have no idea, but it was a full moon yesterday!
Yesterday evening was full of drama! Lilith Tinkerbell, the little black kitten who only took her first faltering steps outside last week, escaped. Sometime in the mid afternoon she got out, and we couldn't find her anywhere. As anyone who has ever visited my house will know, there is stuff everywhere - tanks of exotic fish and other creatures, guitars, books, CDs, zoological specimens, and general tat that we have picked up on our travels - so there are plenty of places for a little pussy cat to hide. So we weren't that worried...at first. But as the evening progressed we got more and more worried, and by the time we went to bed, Corinna and I were verging on distraught. Then, just after we had switched the bedroom light out, we heard a plaintive squeaking noise from outside, and Corinna rushed downstairs only to return a few minutes later with a little black kitten who was looking rather pleased with herself, and none the worse for her adventure.
Today I shall be putting this weekend's issue of the Gonzo Weekly together, and talking to legendary drumdude Twink. Shosh and Gavin are going back to the Midlands, and normal service will hopefully be resumed. Slainte...

 Another visit to our old friend Thom the World Poet

*  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?
