I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

I'm actually up bright and early and relatively sane today. The internet is a little sluggish, but at least it seems to be working (to a certain extent at least). Graham has gone to Manchester to see Hawkwind, and Richard is here for a few days to cover for him. Last night we sat up watching monster movies with Mother, who - much to our delight - enjoyed them massively. This morning I received an enormous pile of DVDs and CDs from the lovely Anne-Marie at Gonzo, and I shall be working through them over the next week or so. Corinna's two rescued rats have settled in much to the chagrin of Prudence, and the orange cat is doing well in Staffordshire. Business as usual.
Stephen Stills has a new box set (I wonder if I can blag a copy?)

Davey's on the road again, and whats more - he's taken Graham with him. Watch out Manchester, the Gonzo Daily boys are in town

*  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:

* 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 53 who - together with his orange cat puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish and batrachians. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
