The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

With hindsight (good old hindsight) I think that I use the phrase “today has been a very weird day” a bit too much on these pages, so today I am not going to do anything of the sort. Instead, I shall say that today has been somewhat of a non- standard day so far, at least. For various reason with which I shall not bore you mainly because they are remarkably uninteresting, Corinna and I didn’t get to bed until very late last night. When we did get to bed, I had great difficulty sleeping, and so when at about seven o clock this morning I needed a pee, Prudence, (who is, by the way just in case you didn't know, my ten year old part bulldog who looks and sounds a bit like a pigmy hippo) started pushing me out of bed and snoring worse than she has ever done, I decided that discretion was the better part of valour, and I crept downstairs and went to sleep in my favourite armchair accompanied by the orange cat. This is where I was when dear Jessica arrived to take up the role of being my amanuensis at about midday. So, I feel oddly relaxed, even though I’ve only had a couple of hours kip. Funny old thing life, isn’t it?

SPECIAL NOTICE: If you, too, want to unleash the power of your inner rock journalist, and want to join a rapidly growing band of likewise minded weirdos please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk The more the merrier really.

 

* 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/…/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit…

 

* 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 56 who - together with an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and a small kitten totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, 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 infantile orange cat, and the adventurous kitten?
