Computers
are truly the work of the devil. The people with my hard drive are still being
irritatingly elusive, which as they are gonna charge me over five hundred quid,
is - in my opinion - a lamentable lack of customer service. I am awaiting two
rescued corvids, both needing ton be hand reared. One appears to be a jackdaw
and the other is either a crow or a rook.

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

Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old
hippy of 55 who - together with an infantile orange cat named after a song by
Frank Zappa 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 infantile orange
cat?
