The Gonzo Daily - Monday
www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html
I rather like wet Bank Holiday Mondays. Autumn is my favourite time of
year, season of mists and mellow fruitfulness and all that jazz. But I am very
much aware that this is y last Bank Holiday until what is euphemistically known
as the "Festive Season", and then it all begins again. Jessica and I are still
sorting out the office, so be aware that this is another week in which blogs may
well come in at unusual times...

You can download the magazine in pdf form HERE:
* 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?
The deadly find was discovered by a mechanic working underneath the
vehicle, who after power washing the underside noticed a small black spider with
a red hourglass marking on the underside of its abdomen.
Black widows are extremely venomous and though they do not always cause
death, because they only inject a small amount of venom, their bite is extremely
painful and symptoms can last for several weeks if one is lucky enough to
survive.
Also a few weeks ago I was asked to collect a "small banded snake" from an
elderly gentleman's garden in Stratford which turned out to be a harmless baby
corn snake Pantherophis guttatus; obviously an escaped pet!
