THE DEN10: NOVEMBER 4TH 2015

will milne November 4, 2015

Did you vote yesterday, Denton? We sure hope you did! If not, it’s ok (we guess). You can still pack the rest of your week with civic goodness. This week holds plenty of opportunity to get out, mingle with some peers, have your voice heard, and above all - have a good time doing so. Luckily our beautiful town has plenty of eye-catching locations for these gatherings to take place at, and hey, we’ve really been meaning to go back to Barley & Board any  way.

Do you like telling people about your events? Sure you do! Email Sara with all your future event dates and stuff!

THE DEN10: JUNE 10

Alyssa Stevenson June 10, 2015

Another summer is underway and we’re just now realizing how hard it is to get out of bed at a decent time when the sun is still up at 9PM and there’s so many people to see and things to do.  The hot, humid weather has moved in and hopefully all our major summer travel plans have been made so now it’s time to fill in the gaps with things like Twilight Tunes on Thursday’s on the square and any number of shows and get togethers that are happening. Remember to document your travels and adventures by using hashtag #WDDI.

Questions, comments, and general sarcasm can be sent to glen@wedentondoit.com.

THE DEN10: MAY 13th

Alyssa Stevenson May 13, 2015

Don’t let the threat of flooding or tornados get you down. We’ve got a week chock full of stuff to do and people to see including Riff Raff at Rockin’ Rodeo. We’re trying to imagine what that will be like but we can’t. So we are going to put a bounty on a photo of Mr. Raff that is tagged #WDDI. May the odds be forever in your favor.

Questions comments and ad libs should be sent via messenger pigeon to glen@wedentondoit.com.

THE DEN10: MAY 6th

Alyssa Stevenson May 6, 2015

It’s Dead Week, y’all. That doesn’t mean theres nothing to do because as usual there is plenty out there in our fair village to distract everyone from student to amateur politician. Get out there and snap some sweet photos and tag them #WDDI to be featured in our Monday’s post, What We Did.

Event suggestions and what not may be directed toward glen@wedentondoit.com

THE DEN10: FEBRUARY 4th 2015

Alyssa Stevenson February 4, 2015

It’s another week full of events, openings, readings, and fests in Denton this week. It’s getting hard to pick what the top ten events are every week, but we're pretty sure we nailed it. Have you searched #WDDI on Instagram lately? It’s also full of increasingly great shots of what it is y’all are getting into over the weekend and we're almost to 10,000 all time photos. We live charmed lives. Now if only they’d put the street back where it used to be on Hickory. Rumor is that it will be done in February and lets hope that’s the truth. Get out there, hashtag stuff, and be safe while enjoying the increasingly more pleasant weather.

Questions, comments and good will may be directed via the internet towards glen@wedentondoit.com

Denton County Young Professionals to Hold Kickoff

Alyssa Stevenson January 27, 2015

If you are a young professional living in the Denton area, you’ve probably noticed the gap in opportunity for further networking and other areas of development. Sure, you can go back to school or connect with hundreds of people on LinkedIn, but what are we doing as a community to support the future of our city, our young professionals? This question was brought up recently and answered by a group of leaders who formed the Denton County Young Professionals group.

EVEN MORE DENTON WOMEN OF DISTINCTION
March 26, 2018

Women’s History Month is the perfect time to revisit some of the amazing Denton ladies who have been town saviors, trailblazers, hellraisers, social activists, and pioneers. Heck, over at TWU is the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame and the archives for the WWII WASP Archives, so you know there are stories a’plenty to tell. Here are a few more of our local favorites, including a 1920’s newspaper publisher, a tiny songstress with a big voice, and a political crusader.

Once a year in Denton, many of our local restaurants and bars get together for a good cause and make their food and drinks available for roughly the price of a single restaurant meal. This year’s event will feature around 35 participants, including a great mix of established Denton institutions (hi, Beth Marie’s!) and places that are new to Denton.

2018 DENTON MINI MAKER FAIRE
February 19, 2018

What image pops into your head when someone uses the word “maker”?

The images that tend to appear in the mind—not to mention Google’s image search—involve wires and circuit boards. As important as those skills and the people who enjoy them are, they only represent one type of maker. Many skills can fall under the maker umbrella, whether it’s programming robots to make pancakes or turning a bicycle wheel into a musical instrument. Artists, scientists, crafters, and engineers can all be considered makers. If you can take a set of materials and transform them into something cool, you are welcome in the maker community!

DO THE DENTON HOLIDAY LIGHTING FESTIVAL LIKE A PRO

DO THE DENTON HOLIDAY LIGHTING FESTIVAL LIKE A PRO
December 1, 2017

One of our favorite holiday traditions, the Holiday Lighting Festival, is this weekend. The annual free event features music, food, performances, a toy drive, and various other holiday activities. Happening simultaneously to the Holiday Lighting Festival is Wassail Weekend. Dozens of local shops extend their hours and welcome patrons to sample their wassail, a hot cider-like beverage. Wassail Weekend  On Friday evening the Downtown Denton square will be shut down to traffic to make way for wassail-guzzling pedestrians to walk around and enjoy all of the festivities. You'll find us circled 'round the tree like the Whos down in Whoville, holding hands and singing with joy. We're not sure who the Grinch is in this situation, though. 

If you plan on coming out to sample the wassail and find the joy of the holiday in your cold, black heart, here are our tips and tricks to making sure you get to squeeze as much holiday cheer out of the event as possible.

THE MANY FACES OF DENTON'S FINE ARTS THEATER

THE MANY FACES OF DENTON'S FINE ARTS THEATER
November 9, 2017

There’s been a lot of buzz around the recent arrival of the oft-rumored Fine Arts Theater hitting the real estate market, with a hefty pricetag in the ballpark of $1.5 million.  Owned by the McBride family since 1983 with high hopes of renovation, there were overtures in 2014 and then renewed interest in 2016 but alas… it has never come to pass. A recent episode of the Politically Denton podcast explored some of the backstory and future possibilities, but I figured it would be a hoot to have a look back at the history of this iconic spot from back in the day.

DENTON STARTUP WEEKEND 2017

DENTON STARTUP WEEKEND 2017
November 1, 2017

Entrepreneur. It’s kind of a dumb word if you think about it, and to most people (especially students) it carries some buzzwords with it that seem very business-y. When I first heard “entrepreneur," I thought to myself, “That’s for people in the college of business.” It never really struck me as, “I’m an entrepreneur,” even though looking back on my life, I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was a kid. Everything from trading Pokémon cards, making beaded bracelets and necklaces, and burning CDs for friends before we learned we probably shouldn’t were all entrepreneurial endeavors that were abundant in my youth (as they probably were in yours).

That’s the thing, though. Being an entrepreneur isn’t about putting on a suit jacket or making apps. It’s about making a living doing something you love, while making sure other people love it too (that’s what we call customer validation). And this is one of the things I learned going through Startup Weekend.

STOKE UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

Since opening in August of 2016, Stoke, Denton’s entrepreneur center and co-working space, has provided space for local businesses, entrepreneurs, freelance workers, and remote workers. The center has also hosted a variety of educational, professional networking, and social events. There has been formal and informal mentoring for new entrepreneurs and collaboration between several of the businesses located at Stoke. All of these things have provided great benefit to Denton’s tech and business communities, allowing them to contribute more to the Denton community and economy.
