The Gonzo Daily - Friday
Yesterday was a real Curate's egg of a day. Graham
Mark, Sas and Riley got out the marquee ready to take it to Hartland, only to
find that the connecting links had been removed/thrown away by person or persons
unknown (they were apparently in an unmarked bin bag, so I suspect the latter),
and so - because I don#t like breaking promises - Graham and Mark drove hell for
leather into Bideford to buy a replacement with sixty quid that I could ill
afford. I lost my cool for a bit at that point. Later, however, the day took a
distinct upturn with the arrival od our friends Dougie and Joolz the Cornish
Ghosthunters. A splendid time (and lentil sheperd's pie) was had by
all.
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#89) is available
to read or download at www.gonzoweekly.com. It has the legendary
Judy Dyble on the cover and an interview with her inside. It has an interview
with Oliver Kersbergen from Sleepyard, and an interview with Lou Stein, the
director of the theatrical adaptation of Hunter Thompson's 'Fear and Loathing in
Las Vegas'. It also includes our second exclusive extract from the new Waterboys
biography by Ian Abrahams. Jethro Tull fans will find a critique of the new box
set of 'Passion Play', critiqued by Doug Harr. There are also new shows from the
wonderfully eccentric Jaki and Tim on their Submarine, and from the
multi-talented Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and from M Destiny (hopefully fully
recovered from his recent illness) a collection of more news, reviews, views,
interviews and tree kangaroos (OK, no arboreal macropoda, 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!!!

* 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:

* 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?
