Thin Line was able to defy Denton festival weather! Congrats! In fact, the weather this weekend was wonderful. We saw basically everyone we knew wandering around the square on Saturday. We saw that Denton Square Donuts closed up shop for good on Friday, sadly. We hope to have more info on that for our next Mr. Farris column.
Anyway, y'all have really upped your photography game as-of-late. There were tons of really excellent #WDDI photos that we had to pull from this week. Thanks for sharing them with us. Looks like we've got another busy week coming up with the library's Mini A-kon and some more great shows. Tag your photos with #WDDI to be included in next week's What We Did.
Thin Line was back and bigger than ever this year. We're not sure whether that was due to the absence of 35 this year or if was always in creator, Josh Butler's plans to go that route, but whatever the reason, we're happy.
The music portion of Thin Line was new this year. We hear that next year they'll expand even further and have a photography competition/exhibition. Star Party at Haileys. Photo by @DentonKate.

Oh man, the sky this weekend. Y'all apparently dug it, too, judging on the amount of photos of clouds we saw. Photo from Paige Gibson.

BBQ chicken tacos from Cowboy Chicken look delicious. Did y'all know this place delivers? Photo by Zach Ashcraft.
The food truck scene in town is getting better and better. We consistently have four or five trucks out on most weekend nights and we're bringing in more and more trucks from out of town. This weekend, we saw Bellatrino, the pizza truck, and Dough Boys, as well. Photo from Paige Gibson.

We're in the habit of going over to Denton Camera Exchange to build our vintage camera collection. We wish there were prices on the actual products, but they've got an awesome selection.
