The Gonzo Daily - Saturday 10th Januarywww.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html
And so it is a cold, grey, wet Saturday afternoon
and we are just about to go to press with this issue of Gonzo Weekly. I am
feeling a little shaky today because last night my partner in crime with Wyrd
Music came down to see me bearing a bottle of black absinthe—something that I
have never had before, and always vaguely wanted to try. One and a half tiny
liqueur glasses and I was tripping off my bonce. The last time I took
hallucinogenic drugs was Boxing Day 1981, but this stuff definitely came closer
than I had any intention of going. According to current thinking, absinthe is no
longer thought to have hallucinogenic properties, but on the basis of my
experience last night (which I think shall be my only experience, by the way) I
think that this current thinking is mistaken.
And it doesn’t make the heart grow
fonder.

more news, reviews, views, interviews and manatees looking for booze (OK,
nothing to do with alcoholic sirenians, 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

* 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 55 who - together with an infantile orange cat 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 infantile orange
cat?
