THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS DILIGENT

The Gonzo Daily - Friday
www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html
 
I have spent all morning fretting because an important parcel that I had been expecting had singularly failed to arrive. Then, at about 1:15 the courier's van pulled up outside, and the driver came in through the front gate clutching a big box which was about two feet cubed. I signed for it, and eagerly unwrapped it. Yes, there they were!. Inside the box was an insulated polystyrene box filled with crumpled up newspaper and a chemical heat pad. And buried deep inside was a small plastic bag containing two beautiful snails, each about 5cm long. They have pointy black shells and bright orange flesh. They were only discovered a few years ago in one lake in Sulawesi, and its surrounding rivers. The Tylomelania genus is restricted to Sulawesi, and contains 34 known species, fifteen of which were discovered between 2003-2998. They are utterly exquisite, and I hope that we shall have success in breeding them.

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.

*  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 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?
