The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday
At the beginning of this year I promised that my task for 2015 was to get
things back on track with our publishing schedule. So far, we are doing
reasonably well. We have published 3 issues of Animals & Men with a fourth
one due just before Christmas, which means that we will have hit our publishing
target of being a courtly for the first time since 2003.
But what of the other things that have fallen by the way side? Well we have
good news there as well. ‘On the Track’ will be returning earlier in the new
year, co-presented by me and the lovely Charlotte Phillipson, whom Weird Weekend
regulars will remember as the young lady who put Ronan’s head in a bag. And,
finally the CFZ members newsletter that I have been promising for months starts
next month. We have compiled a data sheet of all the e-mail addresses that we
can find for CFZ members. If you do not receive one, and think that you should
have done, please e-mail us at: jon@eclipse.co.uk .
In Gonzo news, we are pleased to announce the advent of several new regular
contributors to the magazine, starting off with the legendary AJ Smitrovitch of
the ‘My Dad’s LPs’. I also hope that my old friends Richard Freeman and Nick
Redfern will be joining the Gonzo Weekly family on a regular bases fairly soon.
So its all looking rather good here in the potato shed.

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?
