The weekend was jam packed with sunshine, fun, and plenty tacos. (In fact, we're continuing that taco consortium today. It is Cinco de Mayo, after all.) Between the Cinco De Mayo parade, Free Comic Book Day, the DIME Store Sidewalk Sale, the Mudbug Boil, and general good vibes and good times we are pooped. What We Did does it's best to capture what it's like to live in Denton for a week. At least, that was the idea we had when we started it last summer. We think it does a pretty danged good job of representing Denton from all of the different perspectives that live inside.
Thanks for keeping us in your loop, y'all. Tag your pics and 'grams with #WDDI and share with us what you're up to! Have a great week, everybody!
The Denton Cinco de Mayo festival/parade often gets overlooked in the shadow of Arts and Jazz fest, but it really is a hell of a good time. Photo by @veronica_n_denton.
CINCO DE MAYO
@michagb86 snapped a shot of this little fledgling who decided to hang out on a friend's crotch during a picnic on the square. The birds on the courthouse lawn have gotten a little too friendly.
@besely and the Beer Drinkers Society supported their favorite candidate for the current city council election.
Damn that's a good-lookin' dog mug. @hkgregory did a little chilling on the courthouse lawn with her furry little friend.
@jocsanl made sure that the courthouse was well documented this weekend. This part is still there. VSCO or no?
@siesiesierra enjoyed her first snow cones of the season - one of our favorite firsts of the year. One of which is possibly topped with Gummy Bears which we think we approve of.
Free Comic Book Day was awesome once again. @mkernan made sure to document the ever growing line at More Comics Fun and Games for Free Comic Book Day when he randomly stumbled across it, trying to purchase someone a gift.
@thedapperbat got his nerd on with some Green Lantern ice cream from Beth Marie's during Free Comic Book Day!
@taylorbunch_ made sure to stay well refreshed while hanging in the sun and enjoying the first glimpse of summer.
@shainasheaffphoto had the pleasure of documenting Two O' Clock jazz band during a recording session.
@madammcclain caught a shot of one of our favorite 'book nooks' at Recycled. This is not a good place for a square wide game of hide and go seek, FYI.
@divagirlellie snapped a shot of this fun bug hanging off the square.
MUDBUG BOIL
Saturday afternoon, a bunch of folk convened and ate some crustaceans that kinda looked like bugs. Did the suck the head? Some may have. Either way. It was tasty.
@digijordan catchin' some screen printing action.
@hollyintexas knows the best baked goods are happening at Ravelin bakery. We support her choice in quality french pastry.
@malevolent_teaparty snapped a 'gram of the tree bikini at OSDH. We guess trees need to be ready for summer too. Nice tan, though, Oak.
Also, treekini.
@raecheljeanhaley had a Denton themed b-day party for her 2 year old this weekend. Search Instagram for #WeDenton2It for all sorts of Denton bday awesomeness.
The North Texas football team took on the Robson Ranch softball team in a friendly game over the weekend. Photo by @sarahanneadams .
@tinyglowlife showed off her amazing @madelinewoodapparel skirt in true spring fashion.
@gmathews99 caught up with the current sounds of Seryn at Dan's.
@joshpiers jammed to a little voltRevolt
@taylorbunch_ enjoyed a little cinema on her Saturday. Complete with Mexican corn, Tremors and okay-good friends. We can't think of a better movie to sit on the ground and watch. Just cuddle up with your graboid and watch Kevin Bacon not age.
We loved our haul from Free Comic book day from Mor Fun Comics and Games. May be one of our favorite days of the year!
@xtiffanyyoungbloodx enjoyed a pancake bigger than her own face from Old West. We approve for sure of this breakfast decision.
@wildflowerart is starting their beginning calligraphy class in Denton on May 31. Time to learn how to write pretty.
