Here's a WDDI oldie, but a goodie.
Brutal Juice, Denton's oft-reunited heavy hitter from yesteryear is playing 35 Denton this afternoon. Read up about some of the history of this Denton legend before watching them tear it up on Main Stage #2 later on today.

It's gonna be a beautiful weekend to go hit up a park.
It's looking like springtime in Denton again now, y'all! Get outside and enjoy it. There's even a fun, new kid-friendly venue named Harvest House in town (complete with bocce ball). Below are a few family-friendly events going on this weekend. Get to it.
All weekend long
Battle of the Books | Online, or at any branch of the Denton Public Library | Free | All week long
Parents, it’s never too early to teach your children about brackets and odds. Each week, now through March 28, vote for your favorites books on twitter. The big winner will be announced on March 31. No gambling will be allowed, though, unless you’re betting juice boxes and ice cream.
Friday, March 13th
Sports Sampler | Denton Public Library | Free | 10am
Think your child might be ready for organized sports, but don’t know the right one? Join Parks and Rec for a come-and-go, hands-on, FREE preview of this season’s sports including Blastball, Bitty Basketball, and Start Smart Sports Programs. Ages 3-6. SCORE!
Lego Builders Club | Emily Fowler Library | Free | 4:30pm
The best place to play Legos is the place where you don’t have to clean them all up (or step on any). The Lego club uses a little bit of guided play as well as open play. Bring your kids (ages 6 and up), but leave your own Legos at home.
Saturday, March 14th
Flight Adventures | UNT Sky Theater | $3 | 12pm
Take in a show in the planetarium this Saturday. A special children’s show starts at noon and everyone pays kids’ price! Or stop by at 2pm for Sky Stories ($5 for adults), and Find out how different cultures explain the star patterns they saw in the night sky. Bonus: no parking permit is required on weekends!
UNT Softball | Lovelace Stadium | $5-$7 | 1pm and 3pm
It’s a double-header this Saturday against Southern Miss. Bring the family for a fun afternoon of ladies’ softball on a beautiful spring day. Go Mean Green!
Anyah Martinez is the mother of three busy boys and the founder of Explorium Denton, a children's museum taking shape in Denton.
35 Denton is upon us once again. Sure, you could go out without any plans and manage to have a swell time, but wouldn't it be much better if you let some strangers on a blog give you questionable advice? Here's a list of We Denton Do It-approved things to both do AND not do during the next three days. We'll be updating with some coverage during the festival on our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram so make sure to follow us there if you haven't already. Oh, and don't fest too hard, y'all!
Read More35 Denton is back this week, y'all! While many folks are already on spring break, it won't start for most Denton students for another 7 days and the rest of us will just sit around and be envious at our 9 - 5's.
Last week had a little bit of everything. There was snowfall, live music, sunshine and lots of trucks (and even a helicopter) to touch. Below, we have 18 photos that showcase the best of what Denton, TX had to offer over the past seven days.
Include #WDDI on your Instagram photos and we'll include our favorites in What We Did every Monday morning. Heck, next Saturday, we're even hosting an Instawalk as part of 35 Denton next Saturday. Come hang out with us as we make our way from Shift to the 35 Denton festival. More info here. As for the photos below, you can click on them to get linked back to the photographer's Instagram account. Have a great week!

The past while and a half have been kind of a bust, y'all. The weather has been keeping us down, but no more! We're fighting back. With all of these snow days, your wee ones might have you going a little crazy. No worries. You can break your group's cabin fever with these five family-friendly activities below.
Read MoreGreat jumpin’ Jack Frost it’s cold! Since Texans take to driving on ice about as well as a drunken elephant to water-skiing, most have wisely hunkered down as our last few days of sleet, snow, and ice have caught up with us. It got me to thinking about the Great Blue Norther of 1911, which makes our whining about cold sound plain silly compared to this freeze back in the day.
Read MoreBlah, blah, blah...Texas weather is fickle or something - ice then sunshine then snow then ice. We get it. Y'all get it. We still love ya, though, Texas - weather mood swings withstanding. Either way, last week had a lot to offer. There was some spot-on cuddle weather, lots of rain, and plenty of snowfights. Anybody get a bloody nose from a snowball?
What We Did is our weekly roundup of our favorite photos that were tagged #WDDI on Instagram from the past seven days. You can click the images themselves, to be linked back to that photographer's Instagram page. We normally try to keep these posts below 20 photos, but y'all had so many great images this past week (over 500 images were tagged #WDDI), we had to bend our little rule. Let's get on to the photos, then!
Read MoreThin 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.
