- The Village Chronicles -

In August of 2006, Benjamin Dean Box made the trek up I35 and moved into an unsuspecting Village apartment with Kendal Scott Haug...the city of Dallas will never be the same. All stories recounted here are intended for the purpose of documenting history, are written with journalistic integrity (they are accurate), and may be retold and/or embellished at the reader's wishes.

Death of Depew

It was a sad night in Austin a couple weekends ago when I went down for the “Death of Depew, Celebration of Life” funeral and party. The Depew house has played a vital role in the development and maturation process of many gentlemen and I am disappointed to see this era come to an end. I’d say it ended in good fashion though with a large and interesting group that came to say their goodbyes to the house. Some of us even made it over to the infamous bloody paved pool down the street for some swimming.




In other news, while I was down there Drew, Dusan and I stopped by the Arthouse which is where Meg works. For several years we have made an appearance over there for the new art openings. It is always an excellent- Austin style good time with free drinks and snacks and a good DJ running the music. The best part though is obviously getting to see the new art that has come in and how ridiculous some of it is.

Here are a couple examples, don’t be offended:

This is from the latest show, and if you look closely you can see that this bridge doesn't lead to a very happy place.

This one is from a couple years ago, and its a little easier to see what is going on.
