Shows and fundraisers to get liquor sales into the city round out this week's Den10. This week you can branch out a little, take a chance, and go somewhere you’ve never been before and find a little piece of Denton that maybe you never even knew existed (Editor's Note: Watch out for that one part, though. If you go there, at least go prepared. Have sandwiches, socks, etc... on hand). When you get there, snap a pic and tag #WDDI to prove you made it.
Questions comments and congratulations may be directed towards glen@wedentondoit.com

A fundraiser featuring a bunch of local artists in two venues. Hosted by Denton First, the group aiming to get rid of some archaic and prohibitive left-over laws from prohibition that will bring the sale of liquor and the retention of close to $700,000 in tax revenues in the city.

H.O.T. Presents: CBN / Satanic Abortion / Orgullo Primitivo / Filth | Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios | 9PM | $1
The ever endearing noise scene with their lovable band names and harsh industrial grind / noise / thrash freak outs take over gloves early in the week. Don’t let the trying-to-hard fool you, there’s a massive amount of serious talent here that begs the question: can you handle it?
