THE GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN GIRDS HIS LOINS

The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
 
There is another update from Daevid Allen via the Daevid Alien Facebook Page: "Tomorrow daevid will have a second operation to stem the leaking lymph node. This will be his third general anesthetic operation in 14 days - yes it's been just two weeks since the first big operation. I guess those larger procedures take a bit of tidying up sometimes. Let's focus and hope the op is successful this time and therefore the last that daevid has to endure."
 
I made (what I thought was) a witty response to a friend writing to say that he wasn't going to be able to make it to the Weird Weekend this year, which I described to Corinna as Whistleresque. Whistler (as of the painting of his Mother) sent a telegram to arrive in the middle of Oscar Wilde's wedding reading "Am Delayed, don't wait". That is something I always thought massively amusing, but then again many of my tastes are massively out of date. I don't get most modern comedians but still find Diary of a Nobody highly amusing.

*  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 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?
