The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
On Tuesday when the kids are due I always try and
get up early so that I can get the blogs done before they arrive. Both of them
are fast becoming indispensable, and I am glad to say that we shall be employing
Jessica when she leaves college in a few weeks. I wish we could employ Danny for
more than a day or so a week, but unless someone gives us unexpected amounts of
largesse, we shall not be able to do this. I want to say a big thank you to
Ronan Coghlan and Andrew May for all the hard work they has done pimping the new
online edition of Animals & Men.
The old print editions used to have about 250
readers, so I was pleased that A&M52 had 750. But the latest issue has had
over 3,800 readers which is totally awesome. Well done chaps.
Liz Lenten, Auburn, Led Zeppelin, Steve Ignorant,
Robert Plant, Bevis Frond, Roger Waters, David Bowie, Roy Weard, Dogwatch, That
Legendary Wooden Lion, Hawkwind, Jon Anderson, and Yes fans had better look
out!
The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#133) is
available to read at www.gonzoweekly.com, and to download at http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/. It
has Liz Lenten on the front cover together with an exclusive interview with her
inside with news about the new Auburn album. There is a look at Robert Plant
live with some excellent pictures by Doug, Jon examines a book about David
Bowie, and muses on Fox Hunting and Roger Waters, Thom waxes all poetical like,
whilst the legendary Roy Weard continues his regular column. Xtul reveals a bit
of the backstory, and there is a radio show from M Destiny at Friday Night
Progressive, and one from theose jolly nice chaps at Strange Fruit. There is
also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and pademelons
looking for booze (OK, nothing to do with small marsupials having difficulty in
the offie, 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!!!

Weekly:
All issues from #70 can be downloaded at www.gonzoweekly.com if you prefer. If you

chaps, we have to share it!
* 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?
Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. 
What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?
