THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS JUDGED

The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
Considering that my old potato shed where I spend most of my life was built to hold potatoes, and not people, and is not very big, yesterday afternoon when Judge Smith, Andrea my newly found amanuensis, her husband Steve, Prudence the dog and I were all crammed into it, was an excercise in topology which beggared belief. But we managed to achieve quite a lot. Then Steve left and was almost immediately replaced by Helen, Jessica and Daniel who all crammed into the potato shed and I had a mild understanding of what the Black Hole of Calcutta might have been like. This morning it is only me, Judge and Saskia. Sas is building a shed with Graham, and Judge is diligently doing minor corrections to his first book so we can release a second edition. I, however, am writing blogs and trying to decide whether I can get away with buying some tylomelania water snails from Sulawesi, with which both Saskia and I have fallen deeply in love. The answer is, of course, that no I can't afford them, but I am going to buy them anyway.
The new issue of Gonzo Weekly, in a swish new format, is here. It has interviews with Tim Blake, Craig High from the Psychedelic Warlords, Cyrille Verdeaux goes native, plus Acid Mothers Temple, Joey Molland remembers working with John, George and Ringo, Mice on Stilts, Steve Hillage and more news, reviews, views, interviews and and London Zoos (OK, no metropolitan menageries, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! We are also relaunching with a brand new layout and format for our 70th issue. We hope that you like it.

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

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 54 who - together with an orange kitten named after a song by Frank Zappa 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 kitten?
