WHAT WE DID: SPECIAL THIN LINE 2015 EDITION

Thin Line kicked off the 2015 festival season with a bang. The Dallas Morning News called it, "the best North Texas festival you've probably never heard of," and Jason Lee apparently wants to move here because we're all so awesome. It's been a good couple of days with something for everyone. There were rap shows at Hailey's, great music at Dan's Silverleaf, photo galleries all around town, and tons of documentaries and short films with many of the actual filmmakers present. Below, are a bunch of photos tagged with #WDDI on Instagram (from both y'all and We Denton Do It contributors). Check them out for some instant nostalgia from the weekend.

WHAT WE DID: JUNE 16TH

We're almost up to 4,000 (all time) tags of #WDDI since we started this weekly column a year ago. Believe it or not, but every week there's a bunch of awesome photos that (due to space limitations), we don't get to feature. We highly encourage you to click the #WDDI link on the bottom of our homepage to check out all of the tagged photos on Twitter (we get all of ours through Instagram). This column is always one of our favorites. We love getting to see what everyone is up to in Denton every week. Seeing all of the different stuff everyone is up to always amazes us. Thanks for reading and tagging. Let's hit 10,000 and break our Dropbox before the 2nd anniversary!

Bet The House BBQ had their grand opening on Saturday. We'll have more on them tomorrow, but until then, just know that this is the new WDDI headquarters.

Sprockets and NV Cupcakes opened their new shop on the square this weekend. The turn out for their launch party was amazing. Have you seen the new space yet? @breazee90

WHAT WE DID: JANUARY 21st

 

The weekend weather couldn't have been more perfect. And we took advantage of every moment since we heard that the dreaded cold may be working its way back into town. It seems like y'all did too. Movie nights at Oak Street, waffles from the waffle wagon and rides on mopeds seemed to be abounding. Hope you enjoyed your three day weekend as much as we did. Keep your eyes peeled for the Den10 tomorrow and a list of events to partake in this weekend - we wouldn't want you to get bored or anything. 

Don't forget to tag your pics with #wddi throughout the week to be included next Monday!

WHAT WE DID: AUGUST 19TH

The calendar is getting mighty frightening as we start edging our way back to the beginning of the school year. This weekend we made sure to take full advantage of the town before the universities bring in an extra 40,000 people. We hit up the parade on the square, a nearby coffee shop, made a trip out to the lake, and celebrated the great return of one of our favorite BBQ joints. What did you do this weekend? Let us know in the comments and make sure to tag your photos every weekend with #WDDI to be included in What We Did every Monday. 

Our friends at From Tha Heart BBQ had their food truck out again this weekend. We grabbed some food from them and chatted a bit on Friday. They'll be in front of Lone Star Carwash on Dallas Dr. every Friday and Saturday for lunch and dinner starting…

The amount of new coffee shops opening in Denton County every year is crazy. We ventured over to Highland Village for the Hot Air Balloon Festival this weekend and stumbled across Roots on 407. Great atmosphere and lots of great coffee options.

We spent Friday night trying out the white pizza at Luigi's. We may have spent some extra time at the gym the next morning, but it was totally worth it.

Denton loves it's parades - and we don't mind 'em either. Watching a bunch of kids catch candy and horses stride through the square can be a great way to spend some time on Saturday morning.

This little house is empty... We got a little nosy and peeked through the windows of one of our favorite little houses after the Boyd Girls closed shop. We're left wondering what will go in next....

We savored one of the remaining summer weekends by spending time at the lake - and we had to make a short stop at 'The Dam Store' for our favorite treat.
