What We Did is our weekly roundup of a few of our favorite photos that have been tagged with #WDDI in the past week on Instagram. Together, they give a great look into what all was going on in Denton County during the past seven days.
Below are 19 photos from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX including college football, "spokedogs," the Hispanic Heritage Festival, and PolaCon. Due to the latter, there are a number of film-focused images in today's photos.
If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. Search the hashtag #WDDI and check out all of the other photos that we were unable to include this week. Click the images below to be led back to the photographer's Instagram page where you can follow them and inevitably slide into their DM's.

Chris Brown is the publisher and creative director of Refueled Magazine, a publication working hard to share the life of artists and community members with its readers. Although not from Denton, Brown is connecting with and contributing to the Denton arts community in significant ways, and to us over here at WDDI, that makes him fair game!

Get your movie reviewing thumbs ready, y'all - Thin Line is back! The festival started out strictly as a documentary film festival, but has gone on in the years since to include music, photography, and all sorts of classes/workshops, as well. It has become a fixture of the Denton festival circuit. Needless to say, there's plenty to do in downtown Denton for the next five days. Some WDDI contributors took a moment to comb through all of the activities happening during this year's Thin Line festival and picked out some of our "can't miss" events (many of which are free). You can check out the program for the entirety of the festival here and let us know what you're gonna hit up in the comments.
