THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL

The Gonzo Daily - Monday

www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

I officially decree today to be a DANES day. No, this is not a tribute to our old friend and colleague Lars Thomas and his two sons from Copenhagen; it is an acronym for Do Absolutely Nothing Extremely Slowly. I have had a long and complex weekend, following on from a long and complex week, and I have every intention of spending the afternoon dozing, possibly with an orange kitten and a book by Robert Heinlein. On a positive note, however, we recorded three more songs with Mike Davis this weekend, and things got a little psychedelic so check them out on the 'Mike Davis Fans' Facebook page. Richard comes up here tomorrow, so we are eagerly awaiting his traveller's tales of derring-do.

*  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?
