SHAUN TREAT
Here comes the heat, Dentonites, and also Summer road trips or maybe local staycations for us working stiffs. Glen is trippin’ to France, so I’m channeling my seething jealousy into these DEN10 events that’ll keep our entertainment dance-card full of cool stuff and hot acts. You can also revisit our top picks for “Denton Summertime Fun” or “Kid Camps” and maybe these “Denton Podcasts” to help pass time in your cubicle or during that dang long drive.
Holla in the comments if you have a fave to add, and be sure to tag your pretty pics with #WDDI so maybe you make the cut on Monday’s What We Did photo review.
