The Gonzo Daily - Saturday
You really would not believe the power of the gale
that is blowing outside. It is like being in the middle of some disaster movie's
CGI special effects. After I finished the main work on the latest issue of Gonzo
Weekly last night I sat down with a bottle of wine and enthusiastically made
plans for a shopping trip this morning so I could get all sorts of low sugar
delicacies from Lidl, and spend most of the weekend eating them as I catch up on
my reading list.
No bloody way!
According to Google the Latin tag 'In Vino Veritas'
means that people are more likely to speak the truth when they have had a few.
That doesn't really apply to me. After I have been imbibing I am most likely to
get wildly excited and make completely unrealistic plans that I either
completely forget about or am mildly embarrassed by the next day. I feel that
the tag should be reworded to read: "In Vino testibus se sententiae".

* 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?
