While I do love researching things "unknown zoological", this time of year most of my work involves ghost things. Every conference at which I present requires something ghost based, and as an additional requirement they have to "allow" me to do a small presentation about Cryptozoology as well. This year, during a visit with an attendee, I was asked if bigfoot could be the ghost of a neanderthal. Wednesday, October 03, 2012

CRYPTOLINK: Jane Goodall Believes in Bigfoot. Maybe. So There.
Not a real Sasquatch.There's just so little magic left in the world, ya know? So when the world's most famous, intelligent, and reputable ape scientist Jane Goodall says even she doesn't dismiss the existence of Bigfoot, now that's a thing called hope. And it means a whole lot more than the lead researcher from Finding Bigfoot on Animal Planet saying it (whooo borderline unhinging going on there). This is not exactly anything that Goodall hasn't said before, but reporters keep asking her about Sasquatch because even they need good news once in a while too, especially in light of the blow that many believers got this summer when a guy in a Bigfoot suit got hit by a car and died. That was definitely not good for the cause.
But now, Goodall is speaking out again. When pressed on it. When all she really wanted to do was raise awareness for her endangered monkeys who we know without a doubt are real. But still.
"I'm not going to flat-out deny its existence," Goodall said during an exclusive interview with The Huffington Post. "I'm fascinated and would actually love them to exist."Read on...
TODAY'S BIG CAT ROUND UP
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we should have a go at publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. In September 2012, Emma Osborne decided that the Mystery Cat Study Group really deserved a blog of its own within the CFZ Blog Network.Here is the latest tranche of news...

I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN
I have been living a bachelor life for 24 hours now, and it is more fun than I thought it was going to be. Graham and I sat up eating curry last night, having a few drinks and generally putting the world to rights. I am now cheerfully typing away whilst listening to the new Steve Hillage live album, which is also more fun than I thought it would be. The music is excellent as we always knew it would be, but Steve is a surprisingly jolly fellow on stage. I must try and sort out an interview with him...Gong have always been one of my favourite bands, and I am hoping to catch them on the new tour at some point, probably not Exeter for personal reasons. Today, however, we have a couple of exclusive pictures from their rehearsals..

An evening with Roger Dean and Rick Wakeman. That is a gig I would dearly love to see. And it's for charity

My father always used to annoy me back in the day by referring to 'Emerson, Lake and Palmer' as 'Freeman, Hardy and Willis'. I wonder what he would have done with 'Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe'? Here is another great review if 'the alternative Yes'

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 Editor is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
