WHAT WE DID: MARCH 24TH

Another week, another set of beautiful pictures. If after civilization ends, the world were to be judged by the photos that get tagged #WDDI, whomever would be looking at the photos would think we were a bunch of taco-eating beautiful people who worshiped goats, cats and the sky. That makes us happier than anything else could this morning. Have a great week, y'all. Remember that we're showing Fantastic Mr. Fox on the courthouse lawn Tuesday evening at 8pm. Tag your photos this week with #WDDI to get included in next week's What We Did. 

Goats are definitely an acceptable pet in the land of Denton... don't worry @jadewintersee - we don't think you're crazy.

A little sticker bombing is just part of the local music culture. Thanks for catching the action @sundayprintshop! And catch a Dome Dwellers show whenever y'all have a chance, readers.

Saturday was a little overcast, but Sunday was nice enough to throw some meat on the grill. No taco photos this week, y'all. Where ya at, Denton? Was it not a taco-appropriate week?

THE DEN10: FEBRUARY 19

It’s another eclectic week. At least it's nice outside, though (for now). We’re secretly hoping the weather stays like this until next December.

Snarky Puppy | Hailey’s | 8PM | $20-$75
Grammy Winners, hometown heroes and toasts of the town, Snarky Puppy are making a triumphant return to town/Hailey’s. We're thinking they deserve the key to the city now. Is there a key to the city? Does it open those secret underground tunnels we've heard so much about?

Mini A-Kon 7 | Denton Civic Center | 10am - 5PM
With so many Dentonites working at FUNimation this cosplay anime festival seems like a natural thing. This event has been held at the Denton Public Library's North Branch for past years, but in recent years, it's grown too big for that space. We're glad we’ve got the Civic Center for these types of large events, though. Expect food trucks, galore (including Easy Slider, Cupcakin' and Nammi), photobooths and lots of awesome handmade costumes for your people watchin' good times.
