THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS EXTREMELY DILIGENT

The Gonzo Daily - Tuesday

I think that everything happens for a reason,
everything happens when it's going to happen.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Lou Reed 

Yesterday got mightily weird. As regular followers of my inky-fingered scribblings will be aware, a week or so ago I managed to knacker the office telephone. Graham tried to fix it but managed to make it worse with the effect that (although we didn't realise it at the time) we could receive incoming phone calls but wouldn't hear a ring. As both Graham (in one hire car) and Corinna and Mother (in another) were pootling around Barnstaple, returning said hire cars and doing other important stuff for which three-way communication was a must, this was mildly disconcerting. However, it all worked out in the end: they all came home, and Graham fixed the telephone system by the simple artifice of unplugging the wonky phone...whereupon the Broadband went down for the rest of the day. Strange Days, indeed (most peculiar, Mother).

* 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.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

* 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 54 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon, which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. 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 the orange cat?
