The First Priest of Junk!

    Before we get this started, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to Vince Hannemann, for being a lovely and willing interview-ee for this awkward interviewer.
    And now... Welcome, friends, to the Religion of Junk. This innovative new belief system is centered around a cathedral, located in south Austin, a religion that puts the highest of regards on beauty, architecture, recycling, sustainability, and most of all, JUNK. Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you, The Cathedral of Junk! 
  Yes, yes, I know. This may not be an "actual religion". However, Vince Hannemann, creator of the famous Cathedral, has put new meaning to the words 'junk'. His 30-foot high, structurally sound, tower of so-called trash shows us that one man's trash, truly is another man's treasure. Mr. Hannemann uses C.D.s as a beautiful decoration, tires embedded in cement to pave walkways, and pieces of corrugated tin roofs, screen doors, wooden fencing, and pads to make a small hut. Empty bottles? set in concrete to create a striking wall. He even found moving pods, 5 for $25 bucks, and made storage sheds out of them. So, in the words of the King of Junk himself, "Just because someone's giving it away, doesn't mean it's junk". So, keep recycling, always reuse, and never pass up free samples at a grocery store. Thanks for reading, my charming followers, and until next time....
                  This is River, over and out!
