What is this strange ball of fire in the sky today? It’s so bright. Take advantage of this weird, clear weather and get out there and check out all the great things our city has to offer before we all float away. Looks like Oaktopia is getting underway with a few “Pretopia" events (we always appreciate a good portmanteau) and one of them looks like a bike scavenger hunt. There’s also a bike pub crawl so if you've got a bike your weekend is already made.

Read MoreFriday's can sometimes be the doldrums at work. If you work in an office, you're probably sneaking in some Reddit or Youtube time (or your personal favorite time waster) in between spreadsheets and .psd's. Heck, maybe you work retail and have to do all of that on your mobile device. Maybe you're actually getting work done (bless you, hard worker). We're gonna focus on the lazy ones, though. Here are three local videos for your watching pleasure. A video from The Vision Beautiful with a stark rendition of Patsy Cline's "Strange," by Claire Morales and Jena Pyle, an awesome new video from Kaela Sinclair, and Denton Stage's newest video featuring Konklin playing at Denton Skate Works complete with kids on scooters and some sweet sunshine.
Read MoreSeen and Heard is our weekly events listing of some of the best family friendly events going on in Denton. Don't let a few rain showers get in the way of doing some of the awesome events that Denton has to offer over the next few days. We've got lock-ins, plays, dancing and much more!
Read MoreWest Oak Coffee Bar invited us to try out some of their new menu. Being the gluttonous, hungry folk we are, we could never turn down such an offer. They said a bunch of stuff to us while we were there, but we mostly just heard "pie" a couple of times and nodded our heads a lot. We went back a few days later to talk to new kitchen co-manager, Benjamin Davidson, about the menu and what's coming up for West Oak Coffee Bar.

Read MoreHouston native, RiFF RAFF played at Denton's very own Rockin' Rodeo last Thursday, and it was a real treat, y'all. We had no idea what to expect when first walking into the club on a Thursday. Who the hell goes to see RiFF RAFF during finals week in Denton, we asked? Turns out, its a lot of college-aged, hazy-eyed teens and young twenty somethings. No judgement, guys. We were there, too. Click through for more.
Read MoreHere's this week's edition of What We Did, our weekly photo recap of the past seven days. It looks as if it has been a pretty danged good week, too.

Read MoreIt’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture in an increasingly polarized world. Yet, when you meet a man like Clint Wilson (a priest by trade and an optimist by choice) - refreshing doesn’t even begin to cut it. Religious or not, cynicism is a pervasive american pastime, so when we sat down in the Lord’s house with Father Clint, we were enlightened to say the least. We won’t hold it as sin against him for gracing our lone star state only two years ago, because he got here as fast as he could. We philosophize and sort through his thoughts on what makes a community work in the interview below. Wilson clears up some common misconceptions that folks might have about priestly duties, and fills us in on his thoughts about alcohol, community organizations, and hypothetical biblical boxing champs.
