We're soaking up as much of summer as possible. We're trying our darndest not to spend our days inside binge-watching BBC shows on Netflix. So far, there's been more than enough going on to keep us entertained. We haven't looked back and regretted a second so far.
Between a Sarah Jaffe concert, a trip to the Denton Community Market and a day at the closest 'beach' to town the past few days have been pretty alright. We indulged in some tasty cocktails crafted to keep us cool and checked out a new food truck on the Denton scene. In addition, we spent some time working hard to introduce you to some talented Denton artists and tastemakers. Keep an eye out. The fruits of our labor will be up soon enough.
How about you? Did you have a great weekend, too? Don't forget to tag your 'grams with #wddi and we'll pick from our faves to add to our future posts.
Saturday we headed over to the market and grabbed a bag of beans from the new Coffeewright roasters in town. We'll keep you updated with our thoughts on 'em!
The special "adult" snow cones at The Green House this month didn't live up to our expectations. This is the Texas Picnic with watermelon, sour apple and Waterloo gin. It wasn't as good as it looks.
Thursday evening found a large crowd of Dentonites ignoring the heat on the square while dancing at Twilight Tunes.
Denton is slowly but surely getting our fair share of food trucks. One of the newer ones, Kendrick's BBQ, was out at the Denton Community Market this past Saturday. Have you had a chance to check them out yet?
We did a little recipe testing and photo shooting with Thomas Paessler for a new cocktail recipe.
Getting that close up of our new favorite summer drink...
We headed into Kevin Roden's perfectly historic house for a living room show.
Picking up a summer ale from Midway Mart.
Sarah and Taylor having a drink with Kevin Roden pre-show.
Sarah Jaffe told some really funny and touching stories and sang to a crowd of about 75 people in Kevin Roden's living room.
We spent a little bit of time poking around Mandy Hampton's workshop while she showed off her wood-working skills.
Be on the lookout for this talented artist's interview with us later this month.
We spent a little time at the oh-so-close beach of lake Ray Roberts.
Kids and families were out building sandcastles and enjoying the perfect weather all day.
We still can't believe this place is just ten minutes out of town and $7. Totally worth it.
