Exhibit Update 4 May 2023

While nothing has changed on the surface, I've been busy behind the scenes making plans, identifying objects to be included in the exhibit, and lined up a potential partnership!

Today I put out a little sign letting people know about the changes to come and a link to this blog for updates. So while I was on the topic I thought I'd let you guys know some of the behind-the-scenes progress.

I've been scouring the collection to identify interesting objects and topics to include in the exhibit, and digitizing photographs and prints that will be framed as part of a gallery wall. There are a few items that I have been told should be somewhere in the museum that I'm keeping an eye out for, including a copy of Imperial Oil's original plans for the Town of Devon.

I'm currently making up a floor plan onto which I can draw up potential layouts for display cabinets and large objects.

And possibly the most exciting of all, we had a great meeting with a team working on creating a VR interactive of our Skid Shack, and we're excited to be pooling resources and incorporating their final product into the exhibit. I will be posting a link to the Beta version of the App soon!

And finally, we have a tentative installation date of late-2023 or early-2024. Looks like I need to knuckle down ;D Good think we have some summer student joining the team soon.

Until next time! Danielle

Okay…hear me out…

Has it crossed anyone else’s mind that Devon could be… Jesse’s… cousin???

Their features are kinda similar, right?? The blue eyes, the eyebrows, nose shape (I know Devon’s is bigger, but the SHAPE). Plus we all know Jesse’s brunette, smh.

Plus, I like to imagine Devon went to the concert in his freakin’ Daisy Mart uniform because he lowkey forgot about it and his mom whooped his ass. He pretended he didn’t wanna go but-

SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO SEE WHAT I SEE!!

Getting the train home from London to Cornwall is always a frustrating experience because you start hitting The South West ™ and you're like ah, finally my territory! I'm nearly home! And then the train stops at every fucking town in the whole of Devon and takes absolutely forever to get anywhere

#seriously how long can it take to go between Exeter and Plymouth #every time I forget just how many other towns in Devon there are that exist and are on the line #like ok it also stops at every town in Cornwall which is also annoying but at least I know those towns and remember they exist lmaoooo #so it doesn't surprise me #seriously who even uses half these stations though #draco speaks

happy mid-autumn festival guys <3 here’s jocelyn and hazel eating mooncakes and getting drunk to celebrate

hazel’s not really one for tradition but his family was kinda old school (see: his jade bracelet [he is trans]) so he indulges in it whenever he can to feel closer to them. and jocelyn’s just in it for the food and nostalgia lol

#playchoices #it lives within #jocelyn wu #hazel deng #drawings #this is kinda jank but i need to do some adult stuff before i move so 🥲#& devon isnt here he's making songpyeon and gujeolpan with andy & their families <3 because i always interpreted westchester as a #predominantly white town & immigrants from the same country gotta stick together when they can #re jade bracelet. after coming out hazel seriously considered getting a hammer and breaking it to get it off (even though superstition says #thats VERY bad luck) but then his family died and he was like Ok. this thing is staying on no matter what #K. thats all for me. i may go out to look at the moon and make a wish. we'll see

Devon, Alberta c. 1948

This is one of the earliest aerial shots we have in the collection of the Town of Devon. Taken in 1948, this is the progress of the town no more than a year after the initial discovery of Leduc #1, located just south of the township.

Devon was built as a company town by Imperial Oil (the company behind the Leduc #1 oil well), and was know in its early years as "Canada's Model Town". Along the top and upper-right can be seen the North Saskatchewan River, and the top-most cluster of building include the earliest storefronts along the main street. Dimensions: 278 (H) x 355 (W) mm Date: c. 1948 Paper Stock: Kodak photo card Location: Devon, Alberta

The print appears to be a reproduction of an earlier print (the edges of the original print are visible along the top of this print). There is some discoloration, though it is unclear if this is a product of the reproduction or a fault with the original print.

my sil just went thru a rough breakup (her first girlie since coming out) and the girlie was toxic trash. i listened to santa monica everclear probably one hundred thousand times after my shitty ex so i just sent her that song (we dont text (very fond of eachother, just dont mobile-phone-communicate-often)) im worried its awkward n i dont know enough of the relationship to try n provide a musical relief. biggest thing is i hope she listens to the song n gets it - you are not the bad guy, you will not do this sleepwalk dance anymore, you deserve the sunshine, and to shake this disease

blessings
