BEHOLD THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
 
Up with the lark and to bed with a Wren, as my Uncle Roger used to say about his days in the Navy before WW2. I was up unfeasibly early this morning as I had an appointment in Bideford for a blood test. Being a conscientious fellow I decided that Archie needs to be habituated to the new car so we took him with us. He spent the entire journey mithering and whining, so I was right about the need for habituation, but unwise in my decision to inflict a barrage of peculiar noises from a little dog upon Corinna and myself at such an unpleasant time of the morning. In the post today came 3 dvds of the series that Prof. Bryan Sykes did for Channel 4 about mystery hominids. I blagged them from Icon Films, because I don't actually have a TV that works for anything apart from DVDs. Having just finished two more autobiographies of people who were insiders in The Beatles business affairs during the 1960s, I am looking forward to my chat with Joey Molland (ex-Badfinger) later this week,because there is a lot of stuff that I want to clarify...

And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!

PS: If you are already a subscriber but think that you haven't been receiving your copies please check your spam filters. For some reason known only to the Gods of the internet, some e-mail programmes automatically count the magazine as 'spam' probably because it comes from a mass mailer. Either that or they are just jealous of our peerless content
 

*  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?
