The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that
there were no blog updates yesterday either for the CFZ or for Gonzo. The reason
for this is simple. I was so knackered after the fifteenth Weird Weekend that I
slept for something over thirty hours (punctuated by vague stretched of bleary
awakeness when I was too tired and untogether to get out of bed) so I missed out
Monday altogether. Never mind, boys and girls, we are back, and slowly
maneuvering ourselves towards full steam ahead...
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#91) is available
to read or download at www.gonzoweekly.com. It has Stuart
Nicholson from Galahad on the cover and an interview with him inside. We have
Merrell Fankhauser's Palmdale concert in pictures, and the story of what
happened when the Gonzo grande fromage visited the stage adaptation of 'Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas'. Rick Wakeman fans will find a critique of the new box
set critiqued by Doug Harr. There are also new shows from the wonderfully
eccentric Jaki and Tim on their Submarine, from Canterbury Sans Frontières 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 long nosed potoroos (OK, no weird little
marsupials, 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!!!
A couple of links are missing, and the date for Tim
and Jaki's show is wrong, but this is because we rushed it out to have it
finished before the great and the good of Forteana descended on us for the Weird
Weekend. I hope they will forgive me.

* 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?
