I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

It is always surprising to me how the season of tinsel and paper hats melts away as if it had never been, and within days one finds oneself back in the normal routine. However, very little about our lives can be described as normal really. Last night I was up late chatting to the Gonzo grande fromage Rob Ayling about the forthcoming Michael Des Barres releases, and I also finished reading Philip Norman's wonderfully waspish biography of Mick Jagger. It is only the 3rd of January and I have already read three of my four Christmas books. Richard Muirhead and I are also trying to find out whether it is true that the Hong Kong Department of Agriculture and Fisheries have now added the Indopacific crocodile to the official species list for the former British Colony. Life goes on...

*  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: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures 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?
