The Gonzo Daily - Monday
Dear Graham spent much of the weekend up on the roof with a barrel of tar
plugging the leaks which have made our lives so uncomfortable in the recent
torrential rain. He is a very sweet and kind man and I truly don't know what we
would do without him. Apart from that there are various Doctor appointments and
I am expecting my dear amanuensis Chloe at lunchtime. So the dance
continues.

RAZ REVIEW
And now I am on the want again. It is time, once again, for me to remind
you all about this year's Weird Weekend featuring our very own Steve Ignorant,
sponsored by our very own Erik Norlander, compèred by me and the return of
Nuneaton's Mr Entertainment, Barry Tadcaster with his pal Orang Pendek, and
featuring a whole cornucopia of high strangeness and cerebral silliness. It
would make me very happy if I could sell some more tickets..

see (and meet) Rick Wakeman and Alice Cooper. Bristolian John travels to
California for Quicksilver

sorts of folk including Roy Weard, Mr Biffo, Neil Nixon although the
irrepressible Corinna is taking a week off. There is also a thrilling and
slightly disturbing episode of Xtul. There is also a collection of more news,
reviews, views, interviews and pademelons outside zoos(OK, nothing to do with
small marsupials who have escaped from captivity, but I got carried away with
things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part

* 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.co.uk

guv!
* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an
old hippy of 56 who - together with an infantile orange cat named after a song
by Frank Zappa, and two small kittens, one totally coincidentally named after
one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, puts it all together from
a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he
shares with various fish. 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 infantile orange cat, and the
adventurous kittens?
