WHAT WE DID: AUGUST 3RD

Phew. We just got back home from vacation, but it looks as if things were busy (if hot) here in Denton in our absence. We're happy to be back even if Friday is supposed to be over 100 degrees. 

What We Did is our weekly roundup of photos that WDDI staff and readers have taken over the past seven days. We've got seventeen of our favorite images from the week in the post below.

If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. As always, we're limited in the photos we can post, but we encourage you to search the hashtag #WDDI and check out all of the other awesome photos that were posted that we were unable to post on the blog, or post any discouraging comments you'd like in in the comments section below. Click the images to be led back to the photographer's Instagram page where you can follow them. Have a great week!

THE DEN10: JUNE 24

Soak it in while you can, folks. Once July 4th happens, it’s basically time to start buying school supplies, sweaters and Christmas presents. At least we’ve got some seasonable weather and plenty of options for those of you who are stranded in Denton instead of taking that trip to Eugene. Tag ‘em if you got ‘em and stay tuned for the blog for stuff pertaining to arts and culture.

WHAT WE DID: AUGUST 4TH

It may have been hot out this weekend - but that didn't keep us from getting out and enjoying the town. We kicked things off by checking out the Monahans and Overseas at Dan's Silverleaf on Thursday night and then checking out First Fridays. We now feel sufficiently ready to take on August. 

Reader Josh Piers (@JoshPiers) shared his photo of Overseas' David Bazan singing at Dan's Silverleaf last Thursday. Did you make it out to the show? What did you think?

We checked out the generically-named, Keep It Local fundraiser, at Dan's Silverleaf on Sunday afternoon.
