WHAT WE DID: MARCH 2ND 2015

Blah, blah, blah...Texas weather is fickle or something - ice then sunshine then snow then ice. We get it. Y'all get it. We still love ya, though, Texas - weather mood swings withstanding. Either way, last week had a lot to offer. There was some spot-on cuddle weather, lots of rain, and plenty of snowfights. Anybody get a bloody nose from a snowball?

What We Did is our weekly roundup of our favorite photos that were tagged #WDDI on Instagram from the past seven days. You can click the images themselves, to be linked back to that photographer's Instagram page. We normally try to keep these posts below 20 photos, but y'all had so many great images this past week (over 500 images were tagged #WDDI), we had to bend our little rule. Let's get on to the photos, then!

WHAT WE DID: JANUARY 12TH 2015

Every Monday, we like to run a few of our favorite images that have been tagged with #WDDI on Instagram in the past seven days. We call it What We Did. It normally gives us a fairly good idea of what Dentonites of all different backgrounds have been up to. This week was a good one. 

Keep in mind that we're limited here, folks. While we love the photos we've selected to highlight, y'all should definitely take the time to search #WDDI on Instagram. You'll find so many great photos that we jsut didnt' have the space to showcase. 

Anyway, back to the pics. Click the photos, themselves, to be led back to the photographer's Instagram account and follow 'em. Tag your Denton images this week with #WDDI and come back here next Monday to see another collection. Have a great week, everybody!

WHAT WE DID: AUGUST 4th 2014

This weekend was one for the books. Late nights full of drinks, oysters with friends, beignets and lattes midday, free coffee pour-overs by Cultivar Coffee at our favorite used book store, and generally trying to enjoy every ounce of less than 95 degree weather while it lasted (oh, and other non-food stuff, too). According to your pictures, y'all had some fun this weekend, too.

As always, thanks for sharing your weekend with us and keep on tagging those 'grams with #wddi! Click on the photos, themselves, to be linked back to the photographer's Instagram account. 

 

Soft pillows of beignet goodness at Hoochie's have our mouths watering day and night. Thank goodness they're available first thing in the morning and late into the evening.

Apparently there was a fancy photo shoot at Paschall's last week. We're sure the pics were all as awesome as this action shot. Thanks for sharing @alph0nso!

WHAT WE DID: SEPTEMBER 30TH

This weekend fall made it's grand debut. The weather was great, and we found more than enough to do to keep us outside for the majority of the weekend. Of course, we made sure to eat plenty of tasty things we'll be telling you about later, we like to call it "research" - it's all for your sake dear friends. At least that's what we'll be telling our trainers. We also made sure to catch a few shows and spend some time hanging on the square.

Make sure to tag your photos with #WDDI over the next week, and, as always, thanks for sharing your photos with us.

 

We treked over to East Dallas to show you guys just how delicious Hypnotic Donuts (the donut place set to open in downtown Denton in early 2014) really, truly are. The things we do for you people. It's rough.

We found out just how big the empty space left behind is when someone purchases a single copy of Gravity's Rainbow at Recycled Books.

We had quite a few readers check out Hares on the Mountain at Dan's on Sunday - a requisite Dentonite activity. We particularly liked this shot from reader Camille Green (@camverde).

We made sure to be at the Midlake show last week. We're of course always fans of the ever so talented Doug Burr.

Midlake showed us what they're capable now, after all these years. We're pleased to say we're impressed with the new album, Antiphon, and completely smitten with Eric Pulido's voice.

The weather was perfect this weekend, so a few of us celebrated the oncoming fall with a picnic on the square. We chose our spot carefully, right between a group of people listening to Cas Haley sing and some kids playing hacky sack.
