This week’s top 10 list is brought to you by sitting in a cold, dark room with headphones listening to the Interstellar soundtrack while convincing ourselves it’s not a hundred million degrees outside. How / why is it patios are so dang popular in Denton? What are you people thinking? We have the technology, people. Go find some AC and sip on a freezing tasty beverage while waiting out the end of this incredibly boring and eventless Denton summer. Nothing EVER happens around here. Except in the basement of J&J’s this week which is where just about everything is happening.

DCYP Social Coffee Hour | Loco Cafe | 7:15AM
Come get your brew on early morning style for the Denton County Young Professionals while you can (the cutoff is like 40, we think). This is open to all members and a good way to get in on what’s happening with the county.

Politics at Hailey’s. While not of the local variety, it’s still something and a bit of a head scratcher considering the positions taken last May during the city council election.
