WHAT WE DID: APRIL 14TH

This was one of those classic Denton weekends. You know, the ones where you get drinks with friends, the weather is nice, and you nosh on food truck goodies all the while making sure to attend the many events around town. On Saturday, the square was hopping with people celebrating our heritage in costume, putting on a show like it was 1861. After having our hearing a little altered from the canons, we grabbed locally roasted beans from the Community Market before heading over to the Redbud Festival to see what the kids are doing to keep their closets sustainable with the Trashion Fashion show. Stuff like that makes Saturdays in Denton awesome. We know you guys were out and about as well, because we say all of your awesome pics. 

Keep having all of the fun, and tagging those pics with #wddi to keep us up on all of your Denton shenanigans!

The Explorium had a fundraiser last week at Oak St. Drafthouse featuring catapults, Legos and The Waffle Wagon. 

@thepaigles enjoyed some fried deliciousness from the Waffle Wagon. A great way to get in all of the important food groups; fried dough, chicken and maple syrup.

WHAT WE DID: FEBRUARY 17TH

Thin Line was able to defy Denton festival weather! Congrats! In fact, the weather this weekend was wonderful. We saw basically everyone we knew wandering around the square on Saturday. We saw that Denton Square Donuts closed up shop for good on Friday, sadly. We hope to have more info on that for our next Mr. Farris column. 

Anyway, y'all have really upped your photography game as-of-late. There were tons of really excellent #WDDI photos that we had to pull from this week. Thanks for sharing them with us. Looks like we've got another busy week coming up with the library's Mini A-kon and some more great shows. Tag your photos with #WDDI to be included in next week's What We Did. 

Thin Line was back and bigger than ever this year. We're not sure whether that was due to the absence of 35 this year or if was always in creator, Josh Butler's plans to go that route, but whatever the reason, we're happy.

2013 YEAR IN REVIEW: PHOTOS

As we continue to take a glance back at all that happened in 2013, one thing we can't ignore is the fact that we have a bunch of talented photographers running around to capturing some incredible moments. That, plus we eat too much. As we were scanning back through posts from the past year, we couldn't help but be caught by some of the great photos that were taken and shared with us. If you ask us, a post full of big pretty photos is one of our favorite kind. We figured you'd dig it too.
