The Gonzo Daily - Thursday
To lose one intern in a week may look like
misfortune, to lose two looks like carelessness, as Lady Bracknell might have
said. This week, so far, two of the young ladies whom I had signed up as toilers
in the combined CFZ/Gonzo vineyards have gone the way of all things, and decided
that their life-paths and ours should veer off in separate directions. I hope it
wasn't something I said. Never mind, we still have the delightful Saskia on
Tuesdays and Saturdays, and if there are any other bright young people in the
North Devon area who want to earn a few quid doing some mildly interesting
things, please do not hesitate to get in touch!
Work on the next issue of Gonzo Weekly has already
begun, with lots of photographs and stuff relating to last weekend's
Hawkwind-related activities in next weekend's Gonzo Weekly. There will also be
an interview with the legendary Keith Levene, new videos from Judy Dyble and
Galahad and tons more. The current issue which features an EXCLUSIVE Corky Laing
interview, various tributes to the Norse Gods' last battle,Ragnarok, exclusive
Hawkwind Space Ritual rehearsals, the return of the mighty Six Foot Three,
Clepsydra box set details, news about Hawkwind live this weekend, a pork pie
fight, and more news, reviews, views, interviews and packets of fruit chews (OK,
no special chewy sweets, 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!!!

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?
