The Gonzo Daily - Wednesday
Last night we had a visit from a charming young
lady of 11. Her name is Charlotte, and she intends to pursue a career as a
naturalist. She will be joining the ever expanding CFZ family, doing various
projects with and for us. She has a particular interest in Velvet Worms, so I
said that I would try and get hold of some for her so she can breed them in our
(soon to be) newly revamped conservatory. She is also interested in Australian
Natural History, so Richard gave a her (and her Mum) a long lecture on his
Tasmanian expedition. A splendid time was had by all.
This week's issue of The Gonzo Weekly is here, and
features Hawkwind, Hawkwind, and some more Hawkwind, plus exclusive interviews
with two musical legends - Keith Levene (ex-PiL and The Clash) and Judy Dyble
(founder member of Fairport Convention and the band that was later to become
King Crimson), plus stories on Mike Rutherford, Acid Mothers Temple, Devo, Paul
Whitrow, and the world premiere of new videos by Auburn and Galahad, and more
news, reviews, views, interviews and packets of long nosed potoroos (OK, no
special rabbit-sized macropodiformes, especially in convenient packaging) 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?
