The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday

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

 

Last week Corinna bought an extra large water bowl for Prudence and put it on the kitchen floor next to Bard's (her pet crow) indoor aviary thing. The bowl is bright pink, and Bard went off his food entirely and stopped all vocalisations until it was taken away. I am amazed how the advent of one piece of moulded plastic could have such a dramatic result.

 

Weird huh?

 

Sad news for those following the comings and goings of the CFZ menage, Chester the huge black goldfish that Beth gave us last May died suddenly yesterday morning. It was a shock to us, because not only were we very fond of him, but he had been swimming around happily the night before.

 

There are two of us attempting to write deathless prose in the potato shed today. Professor Jon's Academy for Young Ladies is open for business today, with LMP (Little Miss Pupil) working diligently in the corner of the office.

 

Hey ho.

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.co.uk

 

* 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 57 who - together with a Jack Russell called Archie, an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown kittens, one 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. 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 Archie and the Cats?
