The Gonzo Daily: Monday/Tuesday
And so the game continues: a clouded leopard escapes in Cornwall, we are
gifted an incredibly generous gift of books (which Carl M will be bringing
down), computers aren't doing quite what they are supposed to be doing, and
neither are some of my associates, although I would like to say publically how
excellent both Graham and Charlotte were filming last week. Special praise to
Charlotte because although Graham has been doing stuff like this (scriptless
filming with impromptu and alfresco interviews) for at leasta quarter of a
century, it was Charlotte's first time, and she was magnificent!
Forgive me for always banging on about our webTV show, but it matters a lot
to me, and I would be grateful for as many people as possible to see it, and
spread the tidings of it far and wide:
